House-museum of Boris Pasternak

The House-museum of Boris Pasternak is a residential building in Peredelkino where the author lived and worked. The rooms contain his original furniture, manuscripts, photographs, and personal objects arranged exactly as they were during his lifetime.

Pasternak moved into the house in 1939 and lived there until 1960, creating his major work while facing intense pressure from Soviet authorities. The building was converted to a museum after his death and preserves the history of his literary career.

The house preserves the working spaces where Pasternak created and translated his literary works, showing how he organized his daily life between writing and family.

Visitors can join guided tours through the house and garden, with detailed explanations available in multiple languages when booked in advance. The rooms are modest residential spaces, so arriving early helps you move through them comfortably.

The museum displays Pasternak's coat still hanging on its original hook and his shoes by the door, just as they were on his final day in 1960. These small details create the impression that he stepped out only moments ago.
