Gorky Literary Museum (Literaturny Muzey Gorkovo)

Gorky Literary Museum (Literaturny Muzey Gorkovo) Review

For Gorky buffs only, this museum is packed with the letters, manuscripts, and pictures of the great proletarian writer. There are also portraits of him by Nesterov and Serov. Gorky never lived here, but there is a red wooden reproduction of his childhood home, complete with village yard and outbuildings. You probably won't be able to leave without the kindly but fierce matrons who protect this place compelling you to sign the guest book. Phone ahead for individual or group tours in English.
