Dsegh is a town in the Lori province, which was renamed to "Tumanian" from 1938 to 1969 years in honor of "All-Armenian poet" Hovhannes Tumanyan – a native of the town. The famous writer played a special role in the spiritual life of Armenian nation. The house, where the eminent writer lived and created, is now a house-museum, functioning since 1953. The founder and the first director was the poet's daughter. The museum is situated in a beautiful, shadowy garden, where the writer's sculpture welcomes the visitors. Private objects, materials, illustrating the life and activity of the writer, are displayed in the museum. In 1969, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the great writer, a new two-storey building was constructed. The museum also accommodates his private library of about 8000 volumes, dedicated to the studies on the Caucasus and Armenia, religion, culture, history, as well as folklore of various nations.
