About the museum

The Memorial House-Museum of Marina Tsvetaeva in Bolshevo

The Memorial House-Museum of Marina Tsvetaeva in Bolshevo was opened on September 19, 1992, in the year of poet’s centenary. Since 2017, the museum has been a department of the Museum Association "Museums of the Korolev Science City".

The display is held at a dacha built by the “Eksportles” organization in 1933 at the address: Bolshevo station, New Life settlement, 4/33 Sverdlov Street. Since 1938, the dacha was placed at the disposal of the NKVD. In the same year, Marina Tsvetaeva's husband, Sergei Yakovlevich Efron, received half of the house for his use. Here on June 19, 1939, Marina Ivanovna arrived with her son Georgy (family nickname- Mur) from France.

In a letter to Anna Teskova dated May 31, 1939, Tsvetaeva writes about Bolshevo, the village to which she and her son are going: “The only thing I know about it is that there are pine trees”. 

The Bolshevo House is the last place where the members of the poet's family met and lived together. Here, on July 21, Marina Tsvetaeva began work on translations of poems by M. Lermontov into French. They compiled the famous "Bolshevo Notebook". The tragic period in the life of the family, which led to parting forever, also related to Bolshevo.

"About Mur and me: on November 8, 1939, we left Bolshevo - forever"

Marina Tsvetaeva in a letter to Ariadna Efron on March 22, 1941
