The State Museum of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin is one of the most prominent cultural institutions in Moscow and Russia. In addition to the main building, the museum complex includes five branches: the Alexander Pushkin Memorial Apartment, the Andrey Bely Memorial Apartment in Arbat Street, the Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev Museum on Ostozhenka, the Vasily Lvovich Pushkin House-Museum on Staraya Basmannaya, and Exhibition Halls in Denezhny Lane.
The main building of the museum is housed in a remarkable monument of early-19th-century architecture, the Khrushchev-Seleznev Mansion, located at 12/2 Prechistenka Street.
The historic mansion houses
permanent exhibitions such as “Pushkin and His Era” and “Pushkin’s Tales”, as
well as exhibition halls, a reading room, a concert hall and conference rooms.
Here, on Prechistenka Street, the museum has established open storage
facilities for rare books, paintings, graphics, and miniature portraits of the
18th and 19th centuries, as well as porcelain, bronze,
artistic glass, ceramics, and genealogical materials. The open depository also
includes unique private collections, donated to the State Pushkin Museum. These
are “The Library of Russian Poetry of Ivan Rozanov”, “The Collection of Pavel
Gubar”, “The Cabinet of Tatyana Mavrina and Nikolay Kuzmin”, and the “Nadya
Rusheva Cabinet of Drawings.”
