The museum dedicated to the first Russian Nobel Prize winner and physiologist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov is located on a quiet old street in the center of Ryazan. Previously, it was called Nikolskaya Street, then it was renamed Pavlov Street. The wooden estate belonged to the priest Pyotr Pavlov, the scientist’s father. He was born in a small village and walked all the way to Ryazan to get an education. After graduating from the seminary, Pyotr Pavlov taught Latin and Greek, always read a lot and instilled a thirst for knowledge in his children.

On September 13 (27), 1849, Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, the first child in the family, was born in this house. Subsequently, nine more children were born but only four survived. The scientist wrote in his memoirs,
