Bondin's house, Literary memorial museum in Nizhny Tagil, Russia
Bondin's house is a literary museum in Nizhny Tagil housed in a traditional Russian residential building. Inside, you find personal belongings, original manuscripts, and photographs that document the writer Alexei Bondin's life and work.
The museum opened on 23 November 1953 in the small wooden house on the Tagil pond bank where Alexei Bondin lived from 1935 to 1939. His wife A. S. Bondina preserved the furnishings, personal belongings, photographs and documents that formed the first collection. A 1982 reconstruction restored the interior of Bondin's drawing room and study and added new displays; a 1993 refurbishment brought the exhibition "Literary Life of Nizhny Tagil".
The house shows how a 20th-century writer lived and worked in an industrial city. The rooms convey how Bondin balanced his everyday life with his literary work.
The museum is located in Nizhny Tagil and is accessible by public transportation. Visitors should check opening hours in advance, as they may vary seasonally.
