Muranovo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Muranovo is the Fyodor Tyutchev state museum located in Pushkino, Moscow Oblast, Russia. The estate was founded in 1816 and since then has belonged to four families, including the one of the famous Russian poet Fyodor Tyutchev. Its main house was built in 1842 by Yevgeny Baratynsky, another renowned Russian poet. In August 1920, the estate became a museum.

Muranovo contains many historically important relics such as original furniture, manuscripts and artwork, which originally belonged to Tyutchev, Baratynsky and their families.

[edit] The fire of 2006

In July 2006, a fire from a lightning nearly destroyed the main building. Nevertheless, almost all exhibits were saved, and the estate was eventually restored.
