The life of the writer was connected with both Russian capitals. That is why the largest museum complexes are located here today, whose funds and collections are dedicated to the biography and work of A. S. Pushkin, as well as his contemporaries and the era of the first third of the XIX century.

- The house of the uncle of the poet L. N. Pushkin;
- A. S. Pushkin's apartment on the Arbat;
- Ivan Turgenev House-Museum;
- Arbat apartment of A. Bely;

Therefore, it can be difficult to answer the question about the address of the State Pushkin Museum in Moscow. This is the Arbat, and Ostozhenka, and Money Lane. Each branch is unique in its own way.
Ulitsa Prechistenka, 12/2 is the official address of the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. Metro (Kropotkinskaya station) is located very close to the main building.
