A.S. Pushkin State Historical and Literary Museum-Reserve

About museum

The Moscow-region estates of Zakharovo and Vyazemy constitute the poetic homeland of A. S. Pushkin. The poet spent his childhood here, where he first saw the beauty of nature, heard folk songs, and became acquainted with the life of the nobility. Here he developed into a great poet and wrote his first poems. On the estates' grounds there is a museum-reserve where architectural monuments are still preserved, as well as numerous items recalling visits by Boris Godunov, Napoleon, A. S. Pushkin, N. V. Gogol, L. N. Tolstoy, M. Tsvetaeva and other notable figures. The museum hosts guided tours, concerts, competitions for young poets, and academic conferences. Books about Pushkin and his works are available for purchase here. A visit to the museum-reserve allows one to feel the atmospheric world in which A. S. Pushkin lived and created.
