Summer is already speeding across the country! Despite the fact that soon we will overcome its equator, there is still enough time left. During these days you can read, see, see and visit everything that you only dreamed about. It would be a desire! To help you learn more interesting information this summer, we propose to adopt our selection of the best, famous and informative literary museums in the capital.
- Silver Age Museum (Prospekt Mira, house 30; 150 - 200 p.);This amazing cultural site is located in the house of the poet V.Ya. Bryusov. In 1987, the historic building was transferred to the State Literary Museum, and in 1999 it first opened its doors to visitors. Today, there are regularly conducted various excursions and thematic lectures. For example, guests can learn all the secrets of Bruce’s house, plunge into the Silver Age and get to know poets more closely. Visitors will have the opportunity to examine in detail the covers of literary magazines and books, as well as listen to lectures on Pushkin, the various trends of modernism and attend interesting meetings with contemporary writers. Museum site.
- House – Museum of Tsvetaeva (Borisoglebsky Lane, building 6; 200 - 500 rubles); The opening of the museum was timed to coincide with the centenary of the poetess. And this is not surprising, because it was here that Marina Tsvetaeva lived in the period from 1914 to 1922. Due to a strong financial need, most of the interior items were sold by the poet herself, so the museum staff had to make titanic efforts to return all the things back. For a long time, collectors and art lovers of Marina Ivanovna from all over the world assembled this house-museum. Thanks to this, today we can see portraits, children's toys, drawings and the interior decoration of Tsvetaeva’s haven. In addition, the administration of this institution likes to arrange walking tours, which always bring a lot of useful information and pleasant experiences! Museum site.
- Exhibition Hall "Chekhov's House" (Malaya Dmitrovka, building 29, building 4; 50 - 150 p.); Anton Pavlovich Chekhov lived in this amazing place for only two years - from 1890 to 1892, but during this short period the writer began work on such works as “Chamber No. 6”, “Jumpers”, “Duel” and “Island of Sakhalin”. Also at this address meetings were often held with many influential people of that time: Gilyarovsky, Nemirovich - Danchenko, Merezhkovsky and many others. Today Chekhov’s House is a branch of the Manege Museum and Exhibition Association. Visitors can enjoy not only Chekhov’s atmosphere, but also see amazing paintings by V.I. Nesterenko, which are a permanent exhibition of the museum. Museum site.
