Lonely Planet review for Anna Akhmatova Museum at the Fountain House
Reached from Liteyny pr, is the charming Anna Akhmatova Museum at the Fountain House. Even if you know little about this celebrated early-20th-century poet, you will find yourself moved by the lovingly curated exhibits here. The evocative apartment on the 2nd floor is filled with mementos of the poet and her family, all of whom were persecuted during Soviet times. Outside, in a corner of the quiet garden, is a video room where you can watch Russian-language documentaries on her life.
