This is the most authentic and atmospheric of Moscow's "house museums," laden with original belongings and details that help you reenact the long winters that Leo Tolstoy, his wife, and their 13 kids spent here from 1882 to 1901.
The house that witnessed the greater part of Tolstoy’s life and where most of his literary masterpieces were created became a museum in 1928. The authenticity of the furnishings, and of the works of art, and the library, which belonged to the writer’s family, makes it one of the most unique museums in the world. The interior of the house is kept as it was in 1910.
