Birth house of Anton Chekhov, 19th-century house museum in Taganrog, Russia.

The two-story merchant house contains personal belongings, photographs, and documents that belonged to the Chekhov family during their residence in Taganrog.

The Taganrog City Council acquired the building in 1916 following an initiative by the Chekhov Circle, leading to its renovation and opening as a museum in 1924.

The museum presents artifacts and exhibits that reflect the daily life, education, and early literary influences that shaped Anton Chekhov's writing career.

Visitors can explore the furnished rooms of the house through guided tours that explain the historical context of 19th-century merchant life in Taganrog.

Russian President Dmitri Medvedev visited this memorial house in 2010 during the 150th anniversary celebrations of Chekhov's birth.
