House-Museum of Hovhannes Tumanian, Biographical museum and cultural monument in Dsegh, Armenia.

The House-Museum of Hovhannes Tumanian is a former residence in Dsegh that now displays manuscripts, photographs, and personal possessions of the Armenian writer across its rooms. The collection is spread across two stories and includes an extensive private library containing works on religion, history, and folklore from different cultures.

Hovhannes Tumanian was born in this house on 19 February 1869; his father, the village priest Ter Tadevos, had built it in the 1860s. The house became a museum in 1939, for the 70th anniversary of the poet's birth. It was renovated in 2002 with funds from the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, supported by the diaspora couple Gundagjian and Pujikyan, and the display was renewed.

The writer held a deep connection to this village, and the house reflects his passion for Armenian culture and folklore. Visitors can see how the rooms reveal his interests and the central role literature played in his life.

The museum is housed in the original residence and is easy to locate because of its garden with a sculpture of the writer. Visitors should expect small, intimate rooms that document the author's life and work, without anticipating modern visitor facilities.

In the courtyard stands a bust of Tumanian by sculptor Aytsemnik Urartu, added in 1953, and a chapel built in 1994 where the poet's heart is interred. The house itself was built in the 1860s by his father, the village priest Ter Tadevos, and Tumanian was born in it on 19 February 1869.
