🖼 Tsvetaev Family Museum in Tarusa

Таруса, ул. Розы Люксембург, 30

A museum about the Tsvetaev family's summers in Tarusa: Ivan Vladimirovich, Marina and Anastasia; a branch of the Kaluga United Museum-Reserve.

The museum opened on 4 October 1992, for Marina Tsvetaeva's 100th birthday.
It is housed in the restored “House of Tyo”, bought in 1899 by Marina's maternal grandfather Alexander Meyn.
The name “Tyo” was coined by little Marina and Anastasia, who reworked the French surname of their grandfather's second wife, who lived in the house.
The Tsvetaevs rented summer dachas in Tarusa from 1891, and the sisters stayed in this house during their winter visits of 1907–1910.
In 2017 the study of Ivan Vladimirovich Tsvetaev and Marina's room were recreated in the outbuilding.
The collection includes drawings and watercolours by the poet's daughter Ariadna Efron and first editions of the Tsvetaevs' works.
Every two years the museum holds the Tsvetaev academic readings, and since 1998 a children's festival-competition of young poets and musicians.
