Tsvetaev family house-museum in Tarusa, Literary house museum in Tarusa, Russia.
The Tsvetaev family house is a one-story wooden building in Tarusa that displays exhibits about Marina Tsvetaeva and her relatives. The rooms contain original furniture, photographs, documents, and personal objects from different periods of their lives.
The house was purchased in 1899 by Alexander Mein, Marina Tsvetaeva's maternal grandfather. It later became a winter residence where the family spent significant time during their lives.
The house served as a gathering place for writers and artists who visited the family during their stays in town. Today, you can walk through the rooms where creative work happened and where literary conversations took place.
The museum is located in central Tarusa and is easily accessible by foot or car from the town center. Visits are guided, and staff members can provide explanations in multiple languages to help you understand the exhibits.
One room in the house was the personal study of Ivan Tsvetaev, founder of a major art museum in Moscow. Visitors can see this private space where he worked during the family's time at this residence.
