Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts on Arbat

Arbat Street in Moscow is considered one of the oldest, here is the so-called pedestrian zone. The pavements of this beautiful Moscow street remember Tolstoy's heavy footsteps, Okudzhava's wide steps, and the light air gait of Natalia Goncharova, going hand in hand with the young brilliant poet. The museum-apartment of Pushkin on Arbat is a special place, which takes visitors to distant times.

The Legacy of the Poet

Pushkin's places are scattered all over the country, but in Moscow a special heritage is concentrated - this is the city of the poet's childhood, lived here for several wonderful months with his adorable young wife. Young people also married in the Russian capital.

The work of A. Pushkin has earned a special love and awe in his native country and far beyond its borders. The poet, speaking on behalf of an entire era, did not ignore the little ones by writing instructive tales, among which:

• "The Tale of Tsar Saltan".
• "About the priest and his employee Balda."
• "On the Golden Fish."
• "About the Golden Cockerel."
• "About the dead princess and seven heroes."

The memory of AS Pushkin lies not only in immortal works and hearts, subjugated by the power of his verse word. The walls are also capable of preserving the eternal truths and ancient secrets of people who once lived in them. Unfortunately, the birthplace of the great poet Sasha Pushkin - the house located in the German settlement, has not passed the test of time. Presumably, this was the area of the present Baumanskaya street. Until now, the house of my uncle Vasily Pushkin has been preserved, where Alexander spent a lot of time.

The relative was the teacher and mentor of the future Russian genius. Get a full picture of those distant times, about the people with whom Alexander Sergeyevich communicated, the ways of becoming his creativity can be by visiting the museum of A.S. Pushkin, located in the area of the modern metro station "Kropotkinskaya".

It is located not far from the house-museum, where the young couple spent three honeymoons of marriage. Now the house number 53 is the museum "Memorial apartment Pushkin on the Arbat".
