ALEXANDER PUSHKIN MUSEUM AND MEMORIAL APARTMENT

The Alexander Pushkin memorial apartment museum is dedicated to Russia's most celebrated poet, and stands just a few yards away from Palace Square and two blocks from Nevsky Prospekt on the quiet embankment of the Moika River. The museum is centered around Alexander Pushkin's memorial apartment where he lived in 1836-37, and died after being mortally wounded in a dramatic duel. Visitors can see the study of the poet and writer who gave the world the stories "Eugene Onegin" and "The Queen of Spades", and set a standard of perfection for Russian poetry and literary language.
