Majit Gafuri Memorial House, Historical museum in Ufa, Russia.
The Majit Gafuri Memorial House is a museum in Ufa dedicated to the life and work of the Bashkir poet and playwright. The exhibition displays manuscripts, photographs, and personal belongings that document his creative work and influence on Bashkir literature.
The museum was established in 1948 as one of the first literary museums in Bashkortostan, occupying the residence where the poet lived from 1924 to 1934. This period marked a highly productive time in his literary career and intellectual development.
The house served as a gathering place for writers and artists from Bashkortostan who came here to meet and discuss their work. This connection to the local artistic community remains visible in how the rooms are arranged and maintained today.
The museum is located near the Bashkir Academic Drama Theater in central Ufa, making it easy to reach on foot. Plan your visit for a weekday morning or afternoon, as opening hours are limited to certain days of the week.
The poet is considered a founding figure of modern Bashkir literature, and his works continue to be taught in schools throughout the region. His influence on how the Bashkir language developed in written form remains a cornerstone of local education and cultural identity.
