Paustovskiy's house-museum

Paustovsky's house is a residence in Tarusa where the celebrated Russian writer lived from 1955 until his death. The rooms preserve the appearance from the 1950s and 1960s, including the study where he wrote his final works.

The wooden structure became the writer's home in 1955 through his wife Tatyana Arbuzova, transforming from a neglected building into a place where important literary works were created.

The house shows how Paustovsky lived with his family and visitors, reflecting the everyday world of a celebrated writer who was deeply connected to Tarusa as a creative hub.

The museum is easy to locate on the street and can be visited with guides who show you around. Visitors should allow time to look carefully at the displayed objects and manuscripts.

A fire in 2010 damaged parts of the archive collections, but the main rooms survived intact. The museum was restored after this crisis and officially opened as a memorial.
