The house-museum of Pavel Petrovich Bazhov in Yekaterinburg is part of the united museum of Ural writers. This small house, over a century old, attracts the attention of fans of Bazhov's work, known for his tales such as "The Mistress of the Copper Mountain," "The Stone Flower," "The Malachite Box," and "The Silver Hoof." The museum will also interest those who appreciate the atmosphere of the houses-museums of famous personalities.

The museum was opened in 1969. Its exhibition features the writer's personal belongings, as well as the preserved environment reflecting the daily life of his family. The house that houses the museum holds special significance, as Bazhov lived the last 28 years of his life here. This wooden house was built by the writer himself after his marriage, although initially, the family lived in Kamyshlov due to circumstances.

Bazhov was a devoted family man and loved his wife very much, with whom he lived a long life. After his death, it was thanks to the efforts of his wife, Valentina Alexandrovna, that the museum was created and opened. All the exhibits here are authentic, and the setting has hardly changed since the writer lived in the house. This allows visitors to feel the atmosphere in which Bazhov created his works.

Museum guests can visit the former living room, where relatives and guests used to stay, and now personal belongings of the writer are displayed. Among the exhibits are pocket watches, a smoking pipe, a cigarette case, glasses, a fountain pen, manuscripts, a briefcase, mittens, and other items. Visitors can also see photographs capturing moments from the writer's and his family's life.

In the children's room lived Bazhov's three daughters and son. Unfortunately, his only son died at a young age, which was a great loss for the writer. Pavel Petrovich devoted much time to his children and grandchildren despite his busy schedule. He even complained about the silence when the children grew up and left home.

The dining room has been preserved as it was during the owners' lifetime, who loved to host guests. Among the notable visitors were Georgy Zhukov, Boris Polevoy, and Konstantin Simonov.

In the writer's study, one can see the typewriter that helped him in his work. In the hallway stands a small desk where he wrote his tales at night.

On the museum grounds, there is a garden with a well and trees planted by Bazhov. The museum is small but cozy. The exhibits are protected by barriers, but this does not hinder the appreciation of the setting.

Bazhov was born in the village of Sysert near Yekaterinburg. He studied at the Yekaterinburg Spiritual School and the Perm Spiritual Seminary but refused to continue his studies at the Kyiv Theological Academy, as he did not want to become a priest. This decision prevented him from entering university. After his studies, he worked as a teacher and met his future wife. Bazhov also engaged in party work, was a journalist, and an editor. His love for his native land and interest in folklore inspired him to create the tales that made him famous and remain a source of pride for his fellow countrymen.
