Lonely Planet review

Leo Tolstoy's winter home during the 1880s and 1890s now houses an interesting museum dedicated to the writer's home life. While it's not particularly big or opulent, it is fitting for junior nobility - which Tolstoy was. Exhibits demonstrate how Tolstoy lived, as opposed to his literary influences, which are explored at the Tolstoy Literary Museum. See the salon where Rakhmaninov and Rimsky-Korsakov played piano, and the study where Tolstoy himself wove his epic tales.
