A. H. Tammsaare Museum, Literary museum in Esto-Sadka, Russia

The A. H. Tammsaare Museum is a literary museum in Esto-Sadka housed in a traditional residential building that displays original manuscripts, photographs, and personal possessions of the acclaimed Estonian writer. The structure preserves the interior arrangement and furnishings from around 1912 when the writer lived there.

The house was built before 1910 for the Vaarman family. Estonian writer A. H. Tammsaare stayed there from May to October 1912, one of the 14 months he spent in the Caucasus being treated for tuberculosis. The museum opened on 8 August 1988 on the initiative of Estonian journalist Ants Paju, who built contacts with Estonian settler communities across the USSR.

The space documents the Estonian immigrant community through traditional clothing, musical instruments, and household items from the early twentieth century that fill the rooms. These objects show how people preserved their heritage in daily life and domestic surroundings.

The museum is at Estonskaya Street 35 in Esto-Sadok, Adler district of Sochi, a branch of the N. A. Ostrovsky Literary-Memorial Museum. It occupies a house built before 1910, so rooms are small and visited on foot; allow time for the displays on the writer and the Estonian settlers. Note that Estonian sources give the address as Estonskaya 86.

The house belonged to the Vaarman family and was built before 1910; Tammsaare stayed there from May to October 1912. The museum opened on 8 August 1988 on the initiative of the Estonian journalist Ants Paju, and on 7 February 2014 it received Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip, who was in Sochi for the Winter Olympics.
