Цветаевтарҙың йорт-музейы, House museum in Novo-Talitsy, Russia.
The Tsvetaev House is a traditional Russian residence set up to show how the family lived during the 1800s, with period furnishings and rooms arranged as they were. The building holds three generations of family history within its walls, preserved in its original layout.
Vladimir Tsvetaev, a priest, moved to Talitsy with his family and settled in the parish house on the bank of the Verguzy River, where three generations lived from 1853 for 75 years. His sons Pyotr, Ivan, Fyodor and Dmitry entered Russian culture; Ivan Vladimirovich created the Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. After the family's death the house was nationalised and passed into private hands, and the state bought it back in 1988 for a museum.
The house displays personal items and photographs showing how the Tsvetaev family lived in the 1800s. You can see their books, belongings, and family moments, which tell the story of an educated clerical household.
The museum sits in a quiet residential area of Novo-Talitsy that is easy to walk around. It is good to plan your visit ahead since guided tours help you understand the displays better and are not offered every day.
The house stands beside the church where the family served as priests, and it survived by chance. The attic holds a reading room with more than 3,000 volumes, mainly poetry and prose of the 19th and 20th centuries and of Marina Tsvetaeva's contemporaries. Some exhibits came from Tsvetaev descendants living in Moscow.
