Gorky's House

Nice detach house. In the past it was very stylish building. However, only small details from interior can show it now. Furniture haven't survive. Very interesting view to how to do door locks and window details.

This a must have destination for people with interest in Russian history and literature, and architecture. The house was built by successful Russian entrepreneur Ryabushinsky. The guy invited Shekhtel, who was a legend architect without an architect diploma) Shekhtel was given pretty much full freedom, so he splurged on all kinds of art deco things. Then after Bolsheviks took power, Ryabushinsky ran overseas.Eventually Maxim Gorky lived there, and he was a legend too, precursor of the revolution, a bum, who after revolution became a writer superstar, very rich, friend of Lenin and so on...

Even though the museum is formally called "Gorky´s House", everyone knows it as "Ryabushinsky´s House" - a gorgeous building in Art-Nouveau style with amazing interiors - masterpiece of architect Fødor Schechtel. A rare example of a very beautiful and breath taking architecture but still very cozy and human-scale. Its just always a great pleasure to pass it by or visit it, thankfully to loads of discounts or free entrances that Museum offers. Truly worth visiting Хотя музей формально и называется "домом-музеем горького", по сути это конечно же дом Рябушинского, творение гениального Шехтеля. Потрясающий и уникальный дом в стиле модерн, мимо которого приятно пройти мимо и, конечно, всегда удовольствие заглянуть внутрь, благо в музее существуем большой набор скидок и льгот

One of the most unusual and charming buildings in Moscow. Beautiful example of Art Nouveau architecture.

This house might not be included in the typical must see list for Moscow tourists, but it's definitely worth visiting for it's unique architectural style. I mean, you don't get to see Russian art nouveau every day :) It's also the house where Maxim Gorky spent the last 5 years of his life before dying if tuberculosis. (Proceed at your own risk, as the bacteria is very resistant.) This museum might give you a glimpse of the atmosphere of the gatherings of the great writers which took place in the living room of this house. Information in English is available on printed paper. The building can be visited without booking a tour in advance.

One of my favourite places in Moscow, the Art Nouveau architecture is simply stunning. If you visit the place, please don’t miss the ‘secret’ chapel on the third floor, it’s a little marvel!

A nice small and hidden museum. A good way to take a look of the house of 1930 important character of Russian literature. Even though the house was built before Gorki's arrival. The only bad thing is the lack of English or Spanish info.

450R for foreigners. For each room they have a paper in several languages to explain something about the room or the life of Gorki. Very interesting house. Worth visiting not just for lovers of literature or architecture.
