The Durov Museum, Cultural heritage museum in Taganrog, Russia.

The Durov Museum displays an extensive collection of circus memorabilia, stuffed animals, and personal artifacts in an Art Nouveau building from 1900.

Anatoly Durov, a notable circus performer, acquired two mansions in Taganrog in 1926 before his death in Izhevsk two years later.

The museum features a stylized circus arena with stuffed performers representing various acts from Durov's career in animal training and entertainment.

Visitors can explore documentary materials, photographs, critical reviews, and watch a rare 1920s recording showcasing Durov's performances.

The museum exhibits a recreated touring artist's coach interior, complete with authentic period furnishings and circus performance equipment.
