Lonely Planet review

After Aleksandr Pushkin married Natalya Gonchareva at the nearby Church of the Grand Ascension, they moved to this charming blue house on the old Arbat. The museum provides some insight into the couple's home life - a source of much Russian romanticism. (The lovebirds are also featured in a statue across the street.)

Literary buffs will appreciate the poetry readings and other performances that take place here. But this place should not be confused with the Pushkin Literary Museum which focuses on the poet's literary influences.
