House-museum of Isaac Levitan

The Levitan house is a two-story wooden building in Plyos that displays the Russian landscape painter's works, personal objects, and memorabilia in period rooms. The interior preserves the original arrangement and furnishings from when the artist lived there.

The artist lived in this house from 1888 to 1890 and created some of his most important works there. The building was converted into a museum in 1972 and later recognized as a cultural heritage site.

The house shows how a successful artist of the 1800s lived and worked, with furnishings and personal items that reflect daily life in that era. The place tells the story of Levitan's connection to Plyos and how the Volga landscape influenced his artistic practice.

The museum is located on Lunacharsky Street in the town center and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should know that the rooms are small and upper floors are reached by steep stairs.

The museum preserves Levitan's own ceramic painting palette and writing tools, donated by his nephew's wife in 1984. These handmade items offer insight into the artist's daily creative practice.
