        • From September 1836 Pushkin rented the whole ground floor here, eleven rooms — "from one gate to the other", as the contract says.
        • In the study stands the authentic sofa on which the poet died on 29 January 1837.
        • In 2008 forensic experts found traces of blood on the sofa's leather that matched the blood on Pushkin's waistcoat and a lock of his hair.
        • The museum holds the waistcoat Pushkin wore at the duel and his death mask by the sculptor Samuil Halberg.
        • The first museum in the apartment opened on 13 February 1927.
        • In Natalya Nikolaevna's room hangs her portrait, painted by Alexander Bryullov in 1832.
        • In the early 18th century the architect Domenico Trezzini lived on this plot.

        • The square appeared in 1738–1739 on a wasteland with hay warehouses; in 1952–1992 it was called Peace Square.
        • In June 1831 the cholera riot broke out on Sennaya: a crowd wrecked the cholera hospital.
        • Until the mid-19th century thieves and swindlers were publicly punished here — Nekrasov described these “market executions”.
        • The guardhouse building of 1818–1820 was built by Vikenty Beretti to a design by Luigi Rusca.
        • The Church of the Saviour on Sennaya was demolished in 1961, and a metro vestibule was built in its place.
        • Today three metro lines intersect under the square.

        • The house was built in 1831 by the architect Yegor Zollikofer.
        • As in the novel, thirteen steps lead up to the attic of the house.
        • The wall carries two marble plaques marking the water level of the flood of 7 November 1824, in Russian and in German.
        • The bas-relief on the corner was unveiled on 7 July 1999, and the text on the plaque was composed by Dmitry Likhachev and Daniil Granin.
        • In 1970 the house was rebuilt: the semi-basement was removed and the cobbled courtyard was paved over with asphalt.
