Lonely Planet review

Aleksandr Ostrovsky is the 19th-century playwright who is often considered the greatest Russian realist writer. This museum is devoted to his life and work: to the Maly Theatre, which he founded and to Zamoskvorechie, where he lived and loved. Some of the writer's personal effects are on display. More intriguing are the paintings and engravings of old Moscow, which featured so prominently in Ostrovsky's work.
