Museum of Marina and Anastasia Tsvetaev

An excellent literary and art museum dedicated to Marina and Anastasia Tsvetaev has been operating recently in Feodosia. Grateful admirers of their work invested their heart and soul in the creation of an exposition telling about the stay of the sisters in this city.

The Museum of Marina and Anastasia Tsvetaev in Feodosia was opened in July 2009 in a house on Korobkov Street. Here in 1913-14 lived A. Tsvetaeva, the younger sister of the great poetess. Marina Ivanovna herself with her husband and daughter at the same time lived nearby, on the street. Annensky (now Schmidt Street). As A. Tsvetaeva later wrote about her famous sister, in her small house in Feodosia, "Marina was happy with her amazing husband, with her amazing little daughter - in those prewar years." The sisters constantly visited each other, the poet Maximilian Voloshin often came to them from Koktebel.

In the house-museum of the Tsvetaev sisters, the atmosphere of the late XIX - early XX centuries is recreated, but there are few original things that belonged to the Tsvetaevs in the exposition. This is a genuine furniture set (sofa, chair and table) produced by the Odessa artel of 1904, which presumably could use the sisters, stereoscope and pen from the gate of the house A. Tsvetaeva. In total, more than a thousand exhibits were collected.

The museum often hosts literary and musical evenings of poetry lovers. The city, beloved by the Tsvetaev sisters, today cherishes the memory of them.
