The Boris Leonidovich Pasternak House Museum is located in the former residence of the factory manager in the village of Vsevolodo-Vilva, situated in the Aleksandrovsky District of Perm Krai. In this house, the young poet Boris Pasternak lived from January to June 1916, later becoming the renowned author of the novel "Doctor Zhivago" and a Nobel Prize laureate.
After Pasternak's departure, the house was used for its intended purpose and by the end of the 1990s, it had nearly fallen into ruin. In 2005, the governor of Perm Krai, O. A. Chirkunov, decided to restore the house as a site of historical memory. In July 2006, the poet's son, Evgeny Borisovich Pasternak, laid the first stone for the new building's foundation. The house has now been fully restored.
The Pasternak House Museum serves as both a museum and a cultural center. The "Green Drawing Room" immerses visitors in the atmosphere of creativity and artistic life, with its interiors recreated from photographs taken in 1916.
The "Manager's Office" introduces visitors to the history of the mining industry in Vsevolodo-Vilva and its surroundings, telling the stories of the Vsevolozhsky princes, Savva Morozov, and the Soviet factory "Metil." The room recreates the atmosphere of a working office with maps, product samples, and models of factories.
Another part of the house serves as a venue for the cultural life of the village and the district. It offers internet access, a media library, and hosts literary and musical meetings.
