Литературный музей Габдуллы Тукая

The Gabdulla Tukay Literary Museum is located in Kazan on his namesake street. It was opened in 1986 to commemorate the centennial of the great Tatar poet's birth. There are exhibited pre-death editions of Tukay's works, personal belongings, photos and documents of people close to him. Of particular value are memorial items such as a roadside basket, silver cufflinks and a metal pencil case purchased by the poet in Saint Pyotrsburg in 1912. The exhibition covers Tukay's travels and creative activities.
