Masharov House, Federal cultural heritage site in Tyumen, Russia.
The Masharov House is a late 19th-century building located on Lenina Street in Tyumen that displays typical features of classical Russian residential architecture from that era. Several rooms are furnished with historical objects and documents that convey what life was like during that period.
The neoclassical mansion belonged to Nikolai D. Masharov (1865–1922), an industrialist and co-founder of Tyumen's cast-iron production. Its exact construction date is unknown, estimated at the late 19th century. After nationalisation, a children's clinic occupied it from 1919 until the early 1990s. In 1991 it was transferred to the Tyumen Regional Museum, restored, and opened as a museum in 1994.
The house reveals how prosperous families lived and worked in Tyumen during the 1800s through displayed objects and documents. These items show the daily routines and local connections of the residents who occupied these rooms.
The museum occupies a federal-listed building at 24 Lenina Street in central Tyumen, run by the I. Ya. Slovtsov Museum Complex. Its exhibition space covers 140 m², with 71 m² for temporary shows, and the staff numbers five. Temporary exhibitions open regularly in the former merchant's hall.
The building has held federal heritage status since a 1995 presidential decree. Its exhibition space covers 140 m², with a further 71 m² for temporary shows, and the museum is run by a staff of five under the Slovtsov museum complex.
