🖼 Pushkin Apartment Museum on the Arbat

ул. Арбат, 53

A two-storey mansion on the Arbat where the second floor recreates the setting of Pushkin's rooms.

Pushkin brought Natalia Goncharova here right after their wedding on 18 February 1831 and lived here until mid-May.
The poet rented the second-floor apartment in the Khitrovo house for six months at 2,000 roubles, but left for Petersburg much earlier.
On the eve of the wedding Pushkin held his bachelor party in this house.
The memorial plaque on the house appeared in 1937, for the 100th anniversary of the poet's death.
The museum was founded in 1972 and opened to visitors after restoration in 1986.
Opposite stands the monument to Pushkin and Goncharova, erected in 1999 for the poet's 200th anniversary.
