Alexander Pushkin Museum and Memorial Apartment

This beautiful country home was once an old, almost run- down cottage, and the famous Russian poet, Alexander Pushkin stayed here.

Here you can browse through his personal effects, admire elaborately carved furniture, ornate family portraits and the very sofa he lay on while composing his works.

The house is beautifully restored and is a stone's throw away from the well- known Tzarskoje Selo Estate, next to the Pushkin Country House Museum.

Visitors can see the study of the poet and writer who gave the world the stories "Eugene Onegin" and "The Queen of Spades", and set a standard of perfection for Russian poetry and literary language.

On a wave of nationwide grief for the untimely death of this major Russian literary figure, Pushkin's apartment was carefully preserved and remains a fine example of a nobleman's residence of the 1830s.
The museum boasts numerous literary and historical exhibitions, charting the life, work and times of arguably Russia's greatest writer.

Hours: 10:30a.m- 5:30p.m; Wed- Sun, closed last Fri of each month.
