The museum is situated in one of the oldest and most beautiful streets of Moscow Arbat. Earlier, in the XIX century that region of the capital used to be an ristocratic one. It was right there, in house 53, where Pushkin ented a flat on the eve of his wedding. This flat is the poet s only Moscow remaining flat. He managed to spend here only some months. And in May, 1831 the poet moved to St. Petersburg. The exposition of the museum varies from oil and water-colored portraits, rare engravings and lithographs to delicate furniture, original books and magazines of Pushkin s epoch.
