I passed by exactly the next day after the Turgenev museum was opened again after 2-years’ maintenance.
The first thing you see is the statue of the writer. Frankly, it's not my favourite, but I rather like the mural on the building next door. It’s now the central point of a small square next to his house, right opposite our foreign languages school. The house in fact was not his own, but his mother’s. That’s where the story of the janitor and the dog comes from.
By the way, you know who Turgenev is, don’t you? Anyway, you can always look up the net.
When you pass by you feel transported back to the 19th century, everything is quiet and calm.
The entrance into the garden is on the other side, left of the statue. The schedule is there, too.
Note: like many other museums they are closed on Mondays.
