About the place
Yesenin stayed in Tashkent from 13 May to 3 June 1921 as the guest of his friend, the poet Alexander Shiryaevets, and walked in the old town's teahouses. Admirers opened a volunteer museum in 1981, which became a state literary museum in 1988 and reopened after restoration in 1999.
Four rooms hold photographs, letters, books and memories of contemporaries, many given by the poet's friends and family; the main hall is furnished in early 20th-century style. It is on Qori Niyoziy street, not far from Hamid Olimjon metro station.
