Pushkin summer cottage museum

Pushkin Summer Cottage Museum is an Empire style residence in Pushkin that displays personal objects, manuscripts, and documents belonging to the writer. The house on Pushkinskaya Street preserves the rooms in their original state with furnishings and objects from the 19th century.

The house was built in 1827 by architect V.M. Gornostayev and served as a summer residence during the writer's stays in Tsarskoye Selo. This period marked a time when the writer was working intensively on his works while the town was becoming an important cultural center.

The rooms display personal objects and literary works exactly as they were used during Pushkin's summer stays in this residence. Visitors can see how the writer arranged his space and where he spent his creative time away from the city.

The museum is located on Pushkinskaya Street and is easy to reach on foot with clear local signage. The rooms are not very large, so exploring at a comfortable pace without crowds is possible, especially outside peak hours.

The house retained many original objects and details that show how a 19th-century Russian writer lived and worked. This quality makes it a living glimpse into private daily life rather than just a historical display.
