Lermontov memorial house, Moscow

The Lermontov memorial house is a historic building in the Arbat District that displays manuscripts, letters, and personal belongings of the poet. The exhibition rooms offer insight into his life during his time in the city.

The wooden house was built in the 1820s and Lermontov lived here with his grandmother from 1829 to 1832 while studying at Moscow University. Later it was converted into a museum to preserve his life and work.

The house carries the poet's name because he lived and wrote his first works here as a young student. The place shows how a young artist of the 19th century found his path in Moscow.

The museum is located on Malaya Molchanovka Street in the center and is easy to reach by public transport. Visitors should allow enough time to explore the exhibitions carefully.

The wooden building is the last remaining Moscow residence directly connected to Lermontov's life, as his birthplace and baptism church no longer exist. This makes it a special place for visitors wanting to understand his personal story.
