||following (from Wikipedia entry on Bloomsday at
||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomsday) might be of interest:
||>
||> Bloomsday has also been celebrated since 1994 in the Hungarian town 
||> of
||Szombathely, the fictional birthplace of Leopold Bloom's father, Virág 
||Rudolf, an emigrant Hungarian Jew. The event is usually centered 
||around the Iseum, the remnants of an Isis temple from Roman times, and 
||the Blum-mansion, commemorated to Joyce since 1997, at 40-41 Fő 
||street, which used to be the property of an actual Jewish family 
||called Blum. Hungarian author László Najmányi in his 2007 novel, The 
||Mystery of the Blum-mansion (A Blum-ház rejtélye) describes the results of his research on the connection between Joyce and the Blum family.

||> Over the door of the house in question is (or was, at least, as 
||> recently as 2004) a
||plaque that details the putative connection with the novel.

||> Hi,
||>
||> In Moscow, in the house where Mikhail Bulgakov lived, there is a 
||> museum, not so
||much to honour the writer but the book and it's characters. Similarly 
||in Yalta there is a sculptural composition called Lady with a lapdog 
||(dedicated to the two characters of Chekhov's well-know story). I 
||working on a book about such things in which not the author but 
||fictional characters become part of the city space. I'll be grateful 
||if someone can lead me to similar stories. The characters need not be 
||from fictional narratives only. I would love to know if characters from a novel/film/play/tv serial have found a monument dedicated to them.
