A) Marina Tsvetaeva was a Russian poetess, prose writer, translator, one of the greatest poets of the Silver Age. She started writing poems at the age of six and not only in Russian but in German and French. Her father I.V. Tsvetaev is a famous philologist and art critic, founder of the Museum of Fine Arts (Pushkin Museum), her mother was a concert pianist.
B) The younger sister of Marina Tsvetaeva is Anastasia Tsvetaeva. In the years 1915-1917 Anastasia Tsvetaeva lived with her family in a cozy house on the quiet green outskirts in the city of Alexandrov, Vladimir province.
It is the small city estate which at the end of the 19th century was bought by the mathematics teacher by the name of Lebedev. Marina Tsvetaeva often visited her sister in Alexandrov and stayed with her for a long time. It is known that the months spent in Alexandrov became one of the lightest and cloudless memories in her difficult life.
C) Later, this wooden building became the first Tsvetaeva`s museum in Russia. The museum was opened in 1990. Two wooden houses are a part of the museum "a Tsvetayeva's lodge"and "Lebedev' House". It has seven exhibition halls.
There are twenty-six thousand items and it includes collections of materials belonging to distinguished artists, whose art was directly related to Alexandrov. Among them are Marina and Anastasia Tsvetaeva (it keeps a lot of their photos and personal things, including Marina`s piano), Mandelstam, Solzhenitsyn and many others.
