Lonely Planet review for Gorky House-Museum

This fascinating 1906 Art Nouveau mansion was designed by Fyodor Shekhtel and gifted to celebrated author Maxim Gorky in 1931. The house is a visual fantasy with sculpted doorways, ceiling murals, stained glass, a carved stone staircase and exterior tile work. Besides the fantastic decor it contains many of Gorky’s personal items, including his extensive library. A small room in the cupola houses random, rotating exhibits of contemporary or quixotic artwork.
