Andrei Bely House‑Museum in Kuchino

About museum

In November 2005 the Committee for Culture of the Administration of the city of Zheleznodorozhny established a local history museum department, the "A. Bely House." It was located in a house built in 1917, in which Andrei Bely (Boris Nikolaevich Bugaev) lived from 1925 to 1931. Museum staff restored the house's furnishings and collected household items. The exhibition is dedicated to the period of A. Bely's life in Kuchino, when he wrote the novel "Moscow", "The History of the Formation of the Self‑Conscious Soul", "Memories of Rudolf Steiner", "Wind from the Caucasus" and two books from the memoir trilogy "At the Turn of Two Centuries" and "The Beginning of the Century." Notable writers and poets visited Andrei Bely here, such as B. Pasternak, G. Chulkov, O. Forsh and others. In 1994 a memorial plaque was installed on the house. In addition, on the last Saturday of every month "Tea Mysteries" are held here.
