Literary Memorial Museum of M. Gorky and estate of A. Tolstoy in Samara

What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting

You may be misled by the name of the museum, but it is dedicated not only to Maxim Gorky, but to the writer Alexei Tolstoy, in whose estate the museum is located. He also talks about all other famous writers who have ever lived in Samara. M. Gorky is also devoted to a large exposition. The exposition includes household items of old Samara, books, newspapers, documents, photographs. But the most important thing in this museum is its guides. This is one of the few museums in Samara that is really interesting to visit, and spending time not just looking at Museum showcases. For visitors, competitions, lectures, seminars, and even quests are held here. All this is aimed mainly at children, because Alexei Tolstoy is best known as a children's writer, and at the entrance visitors are greeted by a bronze statue of the character of his most famous work – Pinocchio. The museum is located in an old building, on the second floor of which the writer lived in 1901 as a child, but separately from the exposition you can walk around the courtyard – the estate of A. Tolstoy.
