What do Dr. Faust, Baron Munchausen, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, Uncle Tom, Popeye the sailor and the little prince have in common? The fact is that all these characters have their own museums. It is a great honor for a fictional creature and for its creator. Because the museum of the character is the highest proof of its authenticity and a sign of unconditional nationwide worship of the author.
The world museum practice numbers several dozen museums of literary, folklore and film characters. Idolaters and curious people from all over the world flock to some museums, while others still bear the burden of "municipal" fame.
Every year the number of these unusual museums is replenished with Russian apartments, houses, estates and even entire villages dedicated to the lives and adventures of the heroes, in the existence of which we unconditionally believe in the whole country.
The first museum of a fictional character in our country was opened in October 1972, 45 years ago in the village of Vyra near Leningrad. For reasons of literary political correctness, the proud right of the first swallow was given to the character born under Pushkin's quill pen with nutty ink - Samson Vyrin.
The place was not chosen by chance - having waved 70 versts, the messengers stopped for the night or changed horses at the third station of the Belorussky tract - Vyre. According to archival documents and descriptions from the story "The Station Keeper", the house has carefully recreated the atmosphere of the road station of the era of Nicholas I. In every object, in every thing there is a soul of a fictional hero - here is an unfinished sundress, here - a laced book, a table set for tea - it seems an elderly father and daughter left and are about to return to continue to unwind and unravel their eternal sad story.
No. 2. Museum of Literary Heroes "Belkin's Tales"
The village of Lvovka, located in the Bolsheboldinsky district Nizhny Novgorod region, since the 17th century it was the patrimony of the Pushkins and was named after the poet's grandfather - Lev Alexandrovich. In 2005, in the manor house behind the Luchinnik grove, a museum of the heroes of Belkin's Tales was opened.
Ivan Petrovich Belkin's room One of the rooms of the mansion is dedicated to Ivan Petrovich Belkin - the fictional author of stories - his portrait hangs here, there is a bent chair, reclining on which the narrator snored in his sleep - try not to believe in the reality of this character! The rest of the rooms are ideal decorations for the five stories of the cycle. In Liza Muromskaya's room, a peasant dress hangs casually on a chair; further we find the collected chest of Marya Gavrilovna; then we go into the room where Silvio left on the table an inch from his forehead a shot-through red cap ...
The house itself, with its charming old provinciality and all its landscape surroundings, are perceived as genuine illustrations for the Belkin cycle. Everything here is genuine, honest, real.
No. 3. Museum of the poem "Anna Snegina"
Kashina's estate. Photo: ny.rzn.info In 1995, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Yesenin's birth, the Anna Snegina Museum was opened in Konstantinov. The last Konstantinovskaya landowner Lydia Kashina, who had been friends with the poet for many years, became the prototype of the main character - a young noblewoman, the youthful love of the protagonist Sergushi. It is in the Kashina estate that the museum's exposition is located.
Thanks to the many photographs and genuine gizmos that once belonged to Kashina-Snegina, and dozens of letters written by her legendary fellow villager, reality here is so intertwined with artistic fiction that it is no longer possible to separate real story from a beautiful composition.

Baba Yaga was settled in the village of Kukoboy (2-3 hours drive from Yaroslavl) in 2004 and built a hut there on chicken legs. From ancient times came the Yaroslavl legend about a mysterious, nameless old woman from the back. She lived in the depths of dense dense forests, rarely anyone managed to see her. By the way, the image of a dark character locals corrected a little. In the process of "registration" of the famous old woman, serious problems arose: the fact is that the village of Kukoboy is famous for many temples and churches, and the priests were categorically against the settlement of the "devilry". But, despite this, everything was resolved safely, and Baba Yaga corrected herself: now she helps those in need, although from time to time she continues to misbehave. If you decide to go to the residence of Baba Yaga, then do not be surprised that first you will be taken to the temple in order to buy holy water and candles. Only with such weapons can you safely enter the Izbushka. Also, in the possession of Baba Yaga, you will find tea with famous Kukoboi pies, contests and much more.

Goldfish - Bolshoe Boldino
The village of Bolshoye Boldino of the Nizhny Novgorod region, where there are no rivers, but where Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin wrote the famous "Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish", is recognized as the exact place of the "birth" of the Goldfish. There he also wrote more than fifty well-known works. To attract tourists in the Bolsheboldinsky region, they are going to build the "City of Pushkin's Tales" with a complex of attractions based on the works of the classics, a children's theater and a water park "Zolotaya Rybka".
However, the "Possession of the Golden Fish" is also located in the village of Lipin Bor Vologda region... This is due to the name of the district - Vashkinsky.

Kolobok - the village of Novaya Bedenga
At first, the Ulyanovsk region tried to “stake out” the name of Cheburashka on the fabulous map, citing the mention in Dahl's dictionary as a basis, but the creator of the image of Cheburashka, Eduard Uspensky, strongly opposed it. Meanwhile, most of the fairy-tale characters have dismantled other cities, and only Kolobok remained in Ulyanovsk. Fortunately, the foundations here are more or less strong: local historian Sergei Petrov found the Simbirsk roots of the character in connection with the oscillation, the Simbirsk kolobok. According to Dahl's dictionary, in the Ulyanovsk province, bread made from the remnants of dough was called oscillation. This is the bun, for which the flour was scraped along the bottom of the barrel.
June 2, 2012 in the village of Novaya Bedenga, the official opening of the Kolobok estate took place. The log house and the courtyard of the fairytale hero were cut down according to all the canons of carpentry craft of the 19th century. A stove was laid out in the hut - so that it was always warm and smelled of pies. Kolobok's backyards are located in a picturesque area. Nearby, on a pedestal, there is a sculpture of the owner of the house, next to it there are wooden images of all the heroes of the fairy tale - the Hare, the Bear, the Wolf and the Fox.
The estate will include a number of facilities: Kolobok's House, Kolobkodrom, a playground, and the Simbirskiye Kolobok production line. "Kolobok's House" will be an interactive donut cafe (with children's and adult halls) with a souvenir shop and a "live" Kolobok, which, of course, will be an animator.

Sometimes the heroes of fairy tales become so real that they are cramped between the bookshelves. They leave the pages of their favorite books, turn into monuments, walk the streets of cities and even make themselves comfortable dwellings. Then all over the world there are museums for fairytale characters, where children and adults flock, as if on wings. After all, who does not dream of being in a fairy tale at least for a moment?
"Fairy tales are like old friends, you need to visit them from time to time",- said the American writer George Martin once. Don't waste a minute!
Moomin Valley, Finland
On the island of Kylo, off the coast of the Finnish city of Naantali, the magical Land of the Moomin trolls lurked among the dense crowns of trees. The museum was opened in 2003, and since then it has been a favorite vacation spot for local children. You will also like to look into the moomin houses, climb the tower, run around with unusual bridges and stairs. There is a blue moomin house from a book, a yellow house of Hemul with a collection of butterflies, a witch's hut, and a swimming pool.
The friendly heroes of the popular books of the writer Tove Janson walk around the museum's environs, delighting young visitors. You may meet Little Mu or Sniff, Moomin dad or Moomin mom.
The summer theater regularly hosts performances and shows. The museum occupies an entire island and is connected to the old part of Naantali by a bridge. And you can get here by a special moomin train.
Little Prince Museum, Japan
Surprisingly, the museum of a small hero with a big soul, created by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, is located not at all in Paris or Provence, where the writer is from, but in ... the Japanese village of Hakone.
Cozy French houses and cafes, even thousands of kilometers from the author's homeland, will take you to France, and bright thematic paintings will plunge you into Magic world works.
In the museum you will see not only exhibits dedicated to the Little Prince, but also his creator. The originals of photographs, letters and diaries will reveal to you new facts from the biography of the writer.
Baron Munchausen Museum, Latvia
Do you know, dear friend, that the most truthful storyteller of the world - Baron Munchausen - is not a fictional character, but a real person. He lived in the 18th century and even visited Ukraine.
The Baron Munchausen Museum is located in the Latvian estate Dunte. The owners of the estate assure that it was here that the best years of the life of the baron and his wife passed. Here he pulled himself out of the swamp, planted a cherry tree between the antlers of a deer and flew to the moon astride a cannonball. It was here that I found my soul mate - the daughter of the owner of the estate.
A five-kilometer path leads from Munchausen's house to the sea with bizarre wooden monuments: a hare with eight legs, flying fish, etc. The Baron's museum has created an atmosphere of his time. The house is filled with hunting trophies, and at the entrance guests are greeted by the owner of the house, however, in the form wax figure... But who knows, maybe she comes to life at night?
Harry Potter Museum, England
Eyes run up from miracles. Harry Potter fans can spend hours wandering among the mysterious scenery of the film: strolling Diagon Alley with a bunch of shops, sitting at dining tables Of the Great Hall, see Mr. Weasley's flying car, and see the portraits on the walls come to life in the frame.
The highlight of the museum is the castle of the Hogwarts school, or rather its model, 2.5 m high. Torches are burning on the towers of the castle, and special lighting changes every 4 minutes from night to day.
After walking through the halls of the film studio, you can have a snack at the "Sweet Kingdom" and buy a broomstick, magic wand or mantle as a souvenir.
Mary Poppins Museum, Australia
If you love the work of Pamela Travers, visit the Australian city of Mariborough. It was there, in the writer's homeland, that a house-museum dedicated to her work was opened. In front of the house you can see a monument to the author of the famous story about Mary Poppins. And nearby the estate is a coastal park, very similar to the one described in the books about the fairy nanny.
If you come here during summer holidays, be sure to visit the Mary Poppins Festival. During the holiday, local nannies run races here, steam locomotives are launched, and competitions of kites and drawings on the asphalt are held. It will be fun!
