Museum-Reserve of Tarkhany (Lermontovo). Lermontov Museum-Reserve "Tarkhany" of the Penza region: description, photo, how to get

A good place, pleasant, quiet, comfortable. And somewhat strange, utterly bureaucratized until the moment you enter the estate. Some creepy strict ticket saleswoman said that free audio guide you can’t turn it on on the phone in the house, only order a tour for two and a half thousand, and that it costs eight hundred rubles to shoot with our camera (we know that you can shoot for free at all, but in order to leave this aunt as soon as possible, we paid fifty rubles according to the price list ). However, all this was instantly forgotten when we went inside. ... continuation src="/jpg/plus.gif">

Wonderful park, house, church! It is strange, however, that there is no lighting at all in the Lermontovs' house, allegedly because of authenticity, but at the same time there are "authentic" water heating batteries. Then the candles would have been lit and burned with firewood or something :) So I recommend to all those who visit: in the autumn-winter period, come early so as not to wander in the dark. A must visit in any case!

Beautiful park, large territory, where it's great to take a walk, feel the unique atmosphere of this place. However, only the manor house itself really deserves a visit - we took an excursion here (duty excursion at 12.00) and did not regret it. You can not go to other objects - there is nothing particularly interesting there. We combined a visit to Lermontovo with a trip to Belinsky (about 17 km between them), which just happens to be for one day. In summer it would be possible to make it to Poim, but in winter everything closes earlier.

Visited Lermontovo February 24, 2017. Very a nice place, old manor, beautiful park, two pond, in the summer I'm sure there is even more beautiful.
We visited all the buildings on the territory, but especially liked the Manor's House, the atmosphere immerses in that period.
The inspection itself had to be completed before 4 p.m. after this time, inspection was prohibited.

Back in 1984 year, at the end March, I visited TARKHANY when I was on official duty in Penza from Moscow. I was then the only visitor to this museum! When inspecting the main building of the museum, no one accompanied me! There was complete confidence in me! that world in where Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov lived in those distant years of his childhood and youth. But the visit to the family vault-chapel made the deepest impression on me! ... continuation src="/jpg/plus.gif">

I saw Lermontov's lead coffin, dark from time to time, behind a low metal fence in a niche! I could not resist and put my hand on the cold coffin! It was my farewell to the great poet!

I liked it very much!
We walked through the main building on a tour. The children later said that the best excursion did not exist in their lives. Everything seems to be short, but in the case they tell interesting things, you listen with your mouth open.
Then we went for a walk on our own. Feelings are inexpressible, as if you break away from reality and live in another dimension.
I did not want to leave, I promised myself to return here.

Tarkhany made an indelible impression, I have never seen such a nice, cozy estate! It does not have the splendor and pomposity of Arkhangelsk and so on, but there is something so infinitely human in it, it was created not to impress guests, but to live for the hosts.
The park is well-groomed, but not licked, walking is a pleasure! After the tour, we walked until closing))

This, of course, is not Mikhailovskoye .. As the administrator at the hotel told us: "We have everything compact."
From the first steps you understand that this is a federal museum. Lermontov despite all the vicissitudes Russian history became a national resource.
Everything is strict, above the sockets there are inscriptions "220", in hotel rooms fire extinguishers. The administrator read the instructions to us and gave us two magazines to sign (!). But there are lifts for the disabled.
Bags are checked at the entrance to the territory of the museum-reserve.
A good department of souvenirs at the museum, where you can buy books, information booklets, reference books.
...continuation src="/jpg/plus.gif">

The territory is well-groomed, beautiful, comfortable. The family crypt and the church are separate and worth a visit. I am proud to have visited the graves of Pushkin and Lermontov.

We visited Lermontovo on July 31, 2015. We didn’t join the tour, we just bought tickets and that’s it. The price is listed on the site, although it says the cost of the tour, this is the price of the ticket, they just form a group of 10 people or more and conduct an organized tour. 10 people just walked into the miller's house and the caretaker turned on the tape recorder.
We bought tickets and independently examined all the objects. The exhibition center and dining room were closed for renovations.
General impression excellent, well-groomed place, large area, you can just walk around. ... continuation src="/jpg/plus.gif">

Everything is in excellent condition. There is not much entertainment, everything must be ordered in advance, and only for groups of more than 10 people. All in all typical museum, although the territory allows you to allocate space for various master classes in the manufacture of toys, photographing in national costumes etc. This would attract visitors.
Recommended to visit.

Definitely, the anniversary did them good. Convenient guest center with cash desk and wifi. Tickets for all available seats total 230 rubles. Issue a map of the estate. It was possible to go on a tour without extra. payment. The only negative - we got on June 12 - a large influx of visitors. And their canteen closed ahead of time - they never found out if it was good.
PS On the same day, their director received the State Prize of the Russian Federation.

I really liked the museum and the estate, the atmosphere is favorable, everything is equipped, restored, in excellent condition. But the influx of visitors is simply super-extraordinary, probably due to the celebrations dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the poet's birth.

Beautiful, well-groomed, well watched, well done! The guide was a little late, but the impressions of the work of the staff are still good - they quickly cope with crowds of people, forming groups that do not bump into each other and do not interfere with each other to watch and listen.

The estate itself and its interior decoration did not reveal anything new, it is typical of such a manor. Probably interesting only to connoisseurs of Mikhail Yurievich's work.
I was impressed by the tiny peasant hut, in which up to 15 (!) People lived at a time. ... continuation src="/jpg/plus.gif">

It is necessary to show young families who refuse children due to lack of living space)

The place is beautiful, but the service is HORRIBLE!
We participated in a festive ceremony at the Tarkhany Museum at the wedding of friends.
Museum staff were rude to guests. They ate out the door of one of the guests and simply cursed him.
Gentlemen, you need to respect your client, in large organizations they fire you for less

Were in September Golden autumn in my opinion the most best time to visit estates. It was very beautiful, we walked in the park, watched the ducks in the pond, rode in a carriage pulled by a horse. The family crypt is located a little far from the estate, you need to drive further along the road. It turned out that a separate ticket was needed to visit, but as a result we were let through without it.

Was with big group friends October 10th. At the entrance to the park, there are rules of conduct, consisting of the sections "obligations" and "forbidden", and a policeman who inspects things and instructs: "do not walk on the lawns, do not climb on the monuments, etc. ...". For schoolchildren, it is probably appropriate, but why report this to a group of 30-year-old citizens of normal appearance? :) In the no less popular Pushgory, they somehow manage without it, and the estate is still intact :). By the way, you can’t just go in and walk around the park without a ticket. ... continuation src="/jpg/plus.gif">

The excursion itself is a standard memorized text and a strictly limited time spent in each of the rooms (on a day off, groups go in a stream one after another). They only talk about childhood and adolescence. The Caucasian period of the poet's life is completely ignored, not a word about a duel ... But the park with ponds is wonderful, it's very nice to take a walk. It was also unpleasantly surprised that a museum aunt, complete with a policeman, requires a ticket to visit the poet's grave!

In general, despite some excesses of the museum management, the estate is certainly worth a visit,
better on a weekday.

One of the most famous and visited sights of our region, both among the Penza residents themselves and among residents of other Russian cities, is rightfully the Tarkhany Museum-Reserve. AND given fact is not at all surprising, because it was this place that became a kind of “cradle”, where one of the most famous poets of our country, Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov, spent his childhood.

For me personally, Tarkhany is one of the most beloved and close to the heart of tourist "places". To be honest, I have been coming here every spring and autumn for four or five years now. Occasionally I make winter visits. It is very comfortable, clean, well-groomed, the staff is always hospitable and friendly, and nature is unusually beautiful at any time of the year. For the city dweller that I am, this is perfect place for some peace and quiet.

True, in Lately it became possible to find solitude here only in weekdays as there are many visitors on weekends.
In justification, I would like to note that on the occasion of the anniversary of the birthday of M.Yu. hotel, made in the style of the main building of the manor house, the greenhouse was finally restored and put into operation, and the miller's house began to function. In addition, the entire territory of the museum-reserve, which was previously well-groomed and clean, has become even more accurate, and also (judging by the stories of the staff) the museum-reserve is expanding somewhat (unfortunately, the real territory of the museum-estate is only a small part of those lands that were owned by the grandmother of Mikhail Yurievich once). Thanks to these positive changes, the interest of tourists in Tarkhany has increased even more.

My last visit to the museum-estate was in early spring. Certainly, Apple orchard at that time it had not yet bloomed, and the grass was very small and far from everywhere. However, after the prolonged winter cold, it was more than pleasant to spend the day in the fresh, almost spring and warm air, to see the first flowers.

The history of the Tarkhany estate

The history of the Tarkhany estate dates back to the distant 1701 and the era of Peter I. Until that time, the Penza region and the lands of neighboring regions did not belong to anyone and were wild and uninhabited areas.
The founder and first owner of the village named Tarkhany was Yakov Dolgorukov. The future grandparents M.Yu. Lermontov became the owners of the estate only in 1794. It was officially issued to Elizaveta Alekseevna Arsenyeva, the poet's grandmother. She became his rightful mistress and manager. During the fifty years of her management, the estate flourished and began to bring a stable and decent income.

The whole childhood of M. Yu. Lermontov passed here. He was born in Moscow on the night of October 14-15, 1814 in the family of a retired officer Yuri Petrovich and a representative of a noble family, Maria Mikhailovna. However, he was very soon transferred to Tarkhany, where he spent his childhood. His mother died when the boy was only two years old, after which the question arose of who would raise little Mikhail in the future. He had a father, but the strict and domineering Elizaveta Alekseevna, who was on bad terms with her son-in-law, decided everything herself. She made a will, according to which, after her death, the estate of Tarkhany was to go to Mikhail Yuryevich, however, on the condition that he would be raised by his grandmother. Otherwise, the landowner transferred all the property to the Stolypin family.
Mikhail Yuryevich lived in Tarkhany until 1827, when he again moved to Moscow, where he became a fourth-class half-boarder at the Moscow University Noble Boarding School.

The great writer, as we know, did not have to own an estate. After his death, his grandmother again rewrote the will for his beloved niece M.A. Shan-Girey. But she also died before Arsenyeva. And the will is rewritten for the fifth time for the younger brother of A. A. Stolypin, who owned Tarkhany until 1866. The last owner of Tarkhan was Maria Vladimirovna Katkova, the granddaughter of A. A. Stolypin.
After Elizaveta Alekseevna, none of the owners of the estate lived in it. In 1939, a museum of the great writer was opened in the village of Lermontovo, but the territory became a museum-reserve only in 1969. By this time, she no longer had practically anything in common with the rich and large estate that Lermontov saw in his childhood.
However, thanks to the great work done, today the Tarkhany Museum-Reserve has been restored and demonstrates, albeit not yet complete, but a fairly accurate picture of its past luxury.

Mill and miller's house

Even before entering the main territory of the museum-reserve, we meet the first buildings: the miller's house and a real mill.
In the miller's house, we can see how the way of life of the peasants was, who performed the important and difficult work of grinding flour in that era. Here you will find a real stove, kitchen utensils and other daily household items of a peasant.

On holidays, in the miller's house, you can taste real and very tasty herbal tea or even dine with food straight from the oven. On ordinary days, it's just part of the museum exhibition.

As for the mill, which is already perfectly visible at the entrance to the museum-reserve, you can also see it not only from the outside, but also inside, study the mechanisms and find out what real millstones look like. By the way, according to the museum staff, this mill is operational, it still works, however, only in appropriate weather (it is still windmilled). And besides, it is real monument history, because now she is about 100 years old.

Manor house of Tarkhany estate

Walking among the birch alley along the first pond, we get to the manor house, built in 1818 after the death of Mikhail Yuryevich's mother. During the peasant unrest, this house was on fire, which is why today we see only a building restored according to the available drawings. Nevertheless, the idea of ​​​​what the life of the landowners was like in the years of Mikhail Yuryevich's youth is developing remarkably.
Personally, in my imagination, looking at the building of the manor house, pictures immediately arise of how little Lermontov runs out onto the veranda, and after him, strict and important, his grandmother comes out in a dark, strict dress to the floor and with her hair pulled up in a bun, says him something, imperiously and strictly.

On the territory of the museum-reserve, from time to time, real balls of Lermontov's time are held, costumed and, judging by the reviews, very beautiful. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to attend such an event, but I hope that I will fill this gap in the future.

A small church covered with yellow paint, located to the left of the manor house, always surprises me with its neatness and some kind of harmony. This church was built by Lermontov's grandmother in memory of his mother. The building has been preserved in its original form. Above its entrance you can see the icons of Saints Mary and Elizabeth.

On this moment services are not held in the church, but it is re-consecrated.
You can still look inside to cross yourself over the icons and just be silent for a while.

Another building, reminiscent of the continuity of the life of the landowners and their peasants at that time. The house of the key keeper is located very close to the manor's house. Inside - the furnishings and household items of a peasant house. Here you will have a bed, and a real stove, and a table with benches, jugs and even a cradle for a baby. On the one hand, everything is interesting and beautiful, on the other hand, the thought of how hard the life of an ordinary peasant in Rus' was inevitably striking...

Despite the fact that at first glance the building is very inconspicuous, it is definitely worth a visit. As one of the workers of this greenhouse told us, during the years of Mikhail Yuryevich this building was almost two times smaller and was heated with a conventional stove. Nevertheless, in this greenhouse they managed to grow various heat-loving fruits, including peaches, even in winter.
Today, inside the greenhouse is a real Garden of Eden, where various flowers bloom all year round. For example, we managed to catch the ripening of real pomegranates. You can not only admire such beauty, but also buy a small potted plant as a souvenir from the trip. In my opinion, this is a good alternative to all the already boring magnets!

Ponds and garden

Tarkhany has a small system of ponds connected by paths and bridges. In the summer, duck families swim here, while in the spring the water surface is simply quiet and calm. In addition, on one of the reservoirs you can rent a boat and ride a little.
The museum-reserve also has an excellent park, which has a beautiful apple orchard, oak and birch alleys, gazebos and benches. Walking here is my favorite pastime. In addition, if someone finds it too boring to walk on their own two feet, then you can ride around the park in summer time year in a carriage, and in winter in a sleigh pulled by a horse.

It seems to me that at present, for any visitor to the Tarkhany Museum-Reserve, there is interesting entertainment to your liking. Therefore, to the question of acquaintances and friends: “Is it worth visiting this place?” Without hesitation, I answer: "It's worth it!"

In the north-west of the Penza region, among the endless fields and forests, shady groves and winding rivers, there is an ancient village "Tarkhany", currently called "Lermontovo". It was here, in the estate of E.A. Arsenyeva, that the childhood years of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov, the great Russian poet, passed. Tarkhany is the cradle of a brilliant poet. And wherever Lermontov found himself by the will of fate, in his soul there always lived the image of places dear and dear to his heart, where he spent almost half of his life. Here M.Yu. Lermontov experienced his first love. And it was here that he found his final resting place. The ashes of the poet rest in the family crypt, over which a chapel was erected.

The State Lermontov Museum was opened in 1939. In 1969 it was transformed into State Museum-Reserve"Tarkhans". In 1997, by decree of the President of Russia, "Tarkhany" was included in the State Code of Especially Valuable Objects. cultural heritage peoples of the country.

On the highway Penza - Tambov. The nearest railway station "Belinskaya" (Kamenka) is 35 km away.

The Lermontov Museum-Reserve "Tarkhany" is represented by three exposition complexes. The first includes a manor house. It was built in 1818 after the death of E.A. Arsenyeva's only daughter, Maria Mikhailovna Lermontova (the poet's mother). In 1999, the house was restored, taking into account the analysis of similar buildings of the early 19th century and all the surviving documents on the house. The recreated atmosphere of everyday life fully emphasizes the role of the estate culture in shaping Lermontov's personality. This house became the place where little Misha Lermontov survived the death of his mother, separation from his father, began to learn the basics of science and art, picked up a pencil for the first time, for the first time his fingers touched the piano keys. And thinking about life and death, he dreamed of being buried in Tarkhany. Here are the unique exhibits of the museum: the poet's personal belongings (pipe, cigarette box, casket, part of the handle from a scimitar), things of his mother and grandmother (toilet table, ceremonial handkerchiefs), the icon of the 17th century "The Savior Not Made by Hands", one of the most big works Lermontov-artist "Caucasian view near the village of Sioni", his pencil drawings.

The one-dome building of the manor church of Mary of Egypt rises next to the manor house. This monument was not subject to the destructive influence of time, retaining its architecture. This is a slender empire building erected by the owner of the estate E.A. Arsenyeva (grandmother of M.Yu. Lermontov) as a tribute to the memory of her daughter. The church, which operated until 1925, is currently consecrated. On the walls of the temple there are memorial icons from the Tarkhan churches of the late 18th - early 19th centuries, here is the composition "But we have a sacred feeling ...". The image of the temple of that time was fully recreated, thanks to the elements of church decoration, church utensils. Books are very important. Registers of births, a work of Russian church literature by Cheti-Minei for September 1754.

The foundation of the estate was laid in the bend of the ravine formed by the river Mararaika, in accordance with all the rules of estate construction. A cascade of ponds was created: Upper, or Barsky Pond, Lower and Middle. Along the dam of the Sredny Pond, going to a high hill, a special spectacle opens - the place of the future poet's war games: "trench". The oak grove, connecting with the Round Garden, forms a single green massif. The far garden is a square, where eight alleys of lindens and elms converge in the center, where a wooden arbor is located. By western slope alleys of the park run in terraces from the manor house. Groves, ponds and a field frame a small well-groomed park, emphasizing its beauty and grandeur.

The second compositional complex includes the Church of Michael the Archangel. Historically architectural complex The reserve in the center of the village was formed under the grandmother of Lermontov E.A. Arsenyeva. The construction of the Church of Michael the Archangel began in 1826. In the winter of 1836, while spending his first officer's leave in Tarkhany, M.Yu. Lermontov saw this church still unfinished.

The third complex is the Apalikha estate. To the south-west of Tarkhan, at a distance of three kilometers, is the estate of "dear aunt" M.A. Shan Giray - Apaliha. Today, the estate is a luxurious park, the crowns of centuries-old linden trees are visible from afar. A steppe stream covered with water lilies, a clean, transparent park spring, the noise of centuries-old trees - attract and fascinate with their mystery and poetry, give a feeling of belonging to the secrets and wonders of nature

The State Museum-Reserve "Tarkhany", from the very opening - the largest educational, research center of Lermontov studies in Russia. Scientific conferences, folklore holidays, literary and musical evenings, theatrical excursions, congratulatory programs for newlyweds, quizzes, last call days and days of knowledge are held here. Local crafts (weaving, knitting, pottery, bast shoes and basket weaving) have also been revived in Tarkhany. There are also master classes of folk crafts.

Every year, thousands of visitors come to Tarkhany - the country of childhood, the country of Lermontov's poetry. They strive here to enjoy the source of his poetry, that exciting, soul-touching feeling of touching a miracle. After all, it was life in Tarkhany that gave the future poet a sense of freedom, involvement in the traditions of his ancestors, unity with nature. And in terms of the strength of feelings and energy, the strength of reality, the expressiveness of the word, the courage of thought, M.Yu. Lermontov's poetry is unique and inimitable.

Museum-reserve "Tarkhany"

Among the boundless fields, forests and copses, along the banks of winding rivers in the north-west of the Penza region, the ancient village of Tarkhany is spread. Here, in the estate of the Arsenyevs of Elizaveta Alekseevna and Mikhail Vasilievich, the poet's grandfather and grandmother, Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov spent his childhood and adolescence. Here he got to know life, people, himself. Here he first picked up a pencil, touched the keys of the piano for the first time, and began to learn the exact sciences. He returned here more than once, and dreamed of being buried here.

Now in the former Tarkhany, now Lermontovo, there is the State Museum-Reserve of the great Russian poet. This is a unique historical and cultural monument of federal significance.

The main and most significant part of the reserve is a picturesque manor with a complex of memorial monuments from the early 19th century. The foundation of the estate was laid in the bend of the ravine formed by the small river Miloraika. In its channel and in the ravine, the Arsenievs arranged a cascade of ponds that surrounded the estate from three sides. On the eastern bank of the Miloraika, two gardens were laid out - the Middle and the Far. On west bank the Round Garden was located, which was connected with an oak grove by a linden alley.

The manor's house is a house with a mezzanine, painted in fashionable yellow in those days. This house has been restored as close as possible to the appearance of the house of Lermontov's time. The huge hall has preserved the atmosphere of the noble life of the first quarter of the 19th century. Family portraits convey to visitors the character traits of its inhabitants. The central figure among these portraits is three-year-old Misha Lermontov. There are two rooms of Lermontov on the mezzanine. The first room contains personal items that characterize the poet in those days when, as an officer, he came to his grandmother on vacation. The second room is furnished as the poet's office.

Near the house with a mezzanine, on the site of the former manor house, there is a small one-domed church of Mary of Egypt, built by Elizaveta Alekseevna in memory of her daughter Maria, Lermontov's mother. The exposition also includes another church - the Church of Michael the Archangel, built in the center of the village, and the Arseniev-Lermontov family necropolis. Only a hundred steps separate the manor's house from the house of the key keeper and the people's hut. Now in the restored house of the key keeper there is an exhibition "Russian people, this hundred-armed giant ...", which tells about the peasant environment of the poet.

Do you know what else the Tarkhansky Reserve is famous for? Here are the museum-estate of V.G. Belinsky and the museum of A.I. Kuprin, Poimsky Historical and Architectural Museum and the Trinity-Scan Monastery. And according to the established tradition, annually on the first weekend of July, the All-Russian Lermontov holiday is held in Tarkhany, in which literary and art figures take part.

You have a wonderful opportunity not only to plunge into the world of the Lermontov era, but also to enjoy folklore holidays and theatrical performances. You will see a traditional Tarkhan wedding, enjoy boating and horseback riding, take part in master classes teaching ancient Tarkhan crafts.
