St. Petersburg Literary Museums
Few other cities can boast as rich a literary tradition as St. Petersburg, which was home and inspiration to some of the greatest writers of the 19th and 20th centuries, from Alexander Pushkin to Joseph Brodsky. Their legacy is the subject of several museums in the city.
This small museum, part of the Museum of the History of St. Petersburg, is housed in an attractive wooden house that was once a centre for artistic and literary activity, visited by the great futurist poets Valdimir Mayakovsky and Velimir Khlebnikov, amongst others.
Based on a short story by Alexander Pushkin, Russia's greatest poet, this small museum in the village of Vyra, not far from Gatchina, offers an interesting glimpse of home life for an official in an early 19th century Russian village.
