Sergey Yesenin Müzesi, Russian literature museum in Mirzo Ulugbek district, Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
The Sergey Yesenin Museum houses around 3,000 items, including manuscripts, photographs, personal belongings, and original editions of the poet's literary works. The collection spans from his early writings to his final publications, documenting different phases of his life and creative output.
The museum was established in 1981 as a public institution and received official state recognition in 1988. Following extensive restoration work, it reopened in 1999 in its current form.
The collection displays translations of Yesenin's poetry into Central Asian languages, showing how his verses were adopted and read across the region. Visitors can observe the literary exchange that shaped poetry on both sides of the cultural boundary.
The museum is located at Qori Niyoziy Street 20 and operates on weekdays from 9 AM to 6 PM. Visitors should plan for guided tours and educational programs that enhance understanding of the exhibits.
During his 1921 visit to Tashkent, Yesenin spent time in local tea houses and experienced Uzbek poetry and music performances. These personal encounters with regional culture influenced some of his later creative work.
