About museum

Yegor Petrovich Neimokhov Literary and Local History Museum — a museum reflecting the fate, work and literary heritage of the writer, revealing the history of his homeland — the village of Megino-Aldan in the Tomponsky District.
\r\n
\r\nThe museum's first exhibit is a kosa-gorbusha (a traditional tool), donated to the institution in 1978 by Petr Mikhailovich Neimokhov, one of the village's first vegetable growers and the father of the People's Writer Yegor Neimokhov. Today the museum houses ethnographic exhibits, a paleontological collection, materials on participants of the Great Patriotic War and home-front veterans, residents' memoirs, donated books, and unique photographs. You can also see unique historical exhibits such as a bison head donated by the republic's second president Vyacheslav Anatolyevich Shtyrov; the table of the head of the Bayagantai ulus; hotokhoon — a type of large knife, possibly belonging to a warrior, found in the Khantaaraya Kyrdala area; and a kumis vessel — choroon Matya (19th century).

\r\nThe museum hosts literary evenings, book presentations, genealogy contests, patriotic lessons, and exhibitions. A popular tradition has become a bicycle quest around the historical sites of the nasleg.
