Travel was a significant part of Alexander Pushkin’s life and work. The exhibition “Alexander Pushkin’s Travels” will acquaint the visitor with the places the poet visited and the people with whom he met. His journeys were a major inspiration behind his books that we now consider exemplary and quintessentially Russian. Road poetry occupies a special place in the poet’s literary heritage.
During his short life, Pushkin traveled over 34,000 kilometers, visited Crimea and the Caucasus. In a letter to his friend Pavel Nashchokin, the poet confessed, “I need to travel for my moral and physical strength.”
