In this house Chekhov wrote the narrative “In the Gully”, the plays “The Three Sisters” and “The Cherry Orchard”, the short stories “The Lady with the Dog”, “At Christmas”, “The Bride” and others. The outstanding figures of Russian culture: the writers Gorky, Bunin, Kuprin, composers Rakhmaninov, Spendiarov, painters Levitan, Vasnetsov visited Chekhov as guests here. Great Shalyapin sang to the accompaniment of Chekhov’s piano. The visitors to the museum see a nice garden planted by the writer himself.

In the halls on display are pictures, documents, the writer’s personal belongings, playbills and so on.
