Exhibition "Life and Work of A. N. Tolstoy"

About exhibition

If you happen to find yourself in the manor's yard, don't limit yourself to just walking around the grounds — that's not all! You can go inside! On any day the literary museum is open, even if there are no scheduled guided tours, you can walk through all six rooms of the "Life and Work of A. N. Tolstoy" exhibition on your own. The second house — the one standing in the yard, not the one with the porch facing Frunze Street — is the place where the apartment in which the writer's family lived was located. Room No. 2 on the second floor will attract attention: everything here is as it was during A. N. Tolstoy's life — here is a dish from the family service, there is a barometer on the wall as a reminder of the writer's father, and on a chair lie a shawl and an ivory-handled umbrella as if just set down — the property of Tolstoy's mother, Alexandra Leontievna... Don't miss a single detail: be sure to look into the dining room and the young Alyosha's room, stop by the mother's room and the study of the writer's stepfather, Alexey Appolonovich Bostrom, the owner of the house, and then examine the living room interior — the spirit of the era is everywhere, with reminders of the family who lived here.
