Musée historique d'état « Gorki Leninskie », Historical museum and protected area in Gorki Leninskiye, Russia.
Description
The museum is an eighteenth-century neoclassical manor house situated on elevated ground where the Turovka and Pakhra rivers meet. The complex comprises the residence and Lenin Museum, with the main building and outhouses conveying the architecture of landed gentry from that era.
History
The neoclassical manor was built in the eighteenth century as a residence for a wealthy family but gained prominence when Lenin lived there in his final years. After his death in 1924, the site became a museum to preserve this period of Russian history.
Culture
The manor house displays furnishings and personal items from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, leaving rooms that feel as though their inhabitants just stepped out. Visitors can observe how wealthy Russians lived and what objects mattered to them in daily life.
Practical
The museum is best reached by suburban train from Moscow or by bus from Domodedovskaya metro station, with the journey taking around one hour. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes, as the grounds are hilly and some paths require walking to explore.
