Description of the attraction
The Osipov-Wulf House-Museum is located on the Trigorskoye estate, whose territory currently belongs to the Pushkin Reserve in the Pushkinogorsk District of the Pskov Region, not far from the river Sorot, which is one kilometer from the village of Sharobyki. The name "Trigorskoye" comes from an unusual area, on which the estate itself is located, represented by three hills.
For the first time Pushkin A. S. met the Osipov-Wulf family during his stay in Mikhailovsky in 1817. After the first meeting, the acquaintances became especially friends, so Pushkin spent a lot of time with them.
The excursion begins in the pantry room, where you can learn about the history of the house, which was a former building of a linen factory, adapted for housing in 1820. In this room you can see the painting "The Larins House" by artist Meshkov. The interior design of the house was carried out thanks to the ideas of the artist V. Maksimov. In the pantry, you can see photographs of the appearance of the Trigorsk estate of the late 19th - early 20th centuries.
Then follows the dining room, which tells about the everyday side of Trigorsky's life, the inhabitants of the house and their memories of the outstanding poet. Here are memorial items: two small flowerpots, a samovar made of copper, silvered trays, an oak table, wine coolers. You can also see copies made from the manuscripts of Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin", drawings and self-portraits of the poet, poetic messages, sketched silhouettes of Eupraxia and Anna Wulf, a portrait of A. I. Wolfe in watercolor.
The next room is Alexei Nikolayevich Wolf's study, which contains his memorial things: a washbasin, a card table, a personal chair, his favorite book "The Purpose of a Man" signed in 1800, as well as a small chess table from the first quarter of the 19th century. There is also a portrait of A. N. Wolfe, made in watercolor paint, a portrait of F. Schiller in an engraving, a portrait of Byron - a copy of an engraving, as well as a portrait of N. M. Yazykov, made in 1860 based on a drawing by the artist Khripkov.
The next room is the room of Wulf Evpraksia Nikolaevna. Here you can learn in detail about her relationship with A. S. Pushkin. at a time when she was playful, sweet and spontaneous, which is reflected in the poet's poems. Memorial things are exhibited in the room: numerous gifts from Pushkin - a box, an inkwell, a small rug for burning, as well as a clock and a silhouette of the owner of the room herself, made by an unknown artist.
In the old days, the inhabitants of the house played music in the living room, and also listened to the poems of their friend. This room contains the Trigorsk mantel clock, paintings entitled "Rural Landscape with a Horse" by an unknown artist, "Feeding a Horse" or "Feeding Pigs", which date back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
This is followed by the room of Praskovya Alexandrovna Osipova-Wulf, in which you can learn about the connection that existed between her and Pushkin. A long time ago, the poet wrote that Praskovya Alexandrovna is his only neighbor, whom he can visit whenever he wants and to whom he can trust his innermost secrets, which left in the memory of the hostess of this room the brightest memories of her friend, the poet. The room contains the personal belongings of PA Osipova: a Trigorsk armchair, a secretaire, a small work table, and a Trigorsk ink set made of gilded bronze. You can also see portraits of Pushkin performed by Vivienne, Geytman, as well as several copies of drawings of the poet's grave, the originals of which were once made by the owner of the room herself.
The house has a library that occupies two rooms. There are also antiques here: a clock, a small box, a candlestick made in the form of a marble column, a bust of Moliere, Plato, Virgil, presented in marble and bronze.
The next room is called the "Golubov room", named after the Golubovo estate, for the owner of which Wulf E. N. married. Pushkin also often visited Golubovo and was on friendly terms with its inhabitants. There is a geometric plan of the estate, original candlesticks, self-portraits.
The last room is a classroom where you can learn about the life of Trigorsky at the beginning of the 20th century.
