Apollinary Vasnetsov Museum?Why this museumApollinary Vasnetsov’s reconstructions of old Moscow are not painting but scholarship: the artist made archaeological observations, and his views still serve as textbook illustrations. Here they hang in the flat where they were made.
original name: Музей Аполлинария Васнецова

for enthusiastsadultsWith childrenA cramped memorial flat on the third floor: awkward with children.wheelchairStep-free accessThe museum — no. Third floor of a residential building with no lift — a wheelchair cannot get in.
Getting there — partly. Krasnye Vorota and Chistye Prudy have no lifts. Moscow metro stations almost never have lifts to the platform, except on the Big Circle line and the MCC. A wheelchair user is better served by the surface buses, which are low-floor across the centre.45 minutes

Reference
A branch of the Tretyakov Gallery. Apollinary Vasnetsov spent the last thirty years of his life in this flat; the studio and furnishings survive.
The building. An apartment house of the early 20th century.
Good to know. The flat is domestic in scale; groups come by appointment.
What to see
The studio with its original furnishings, and the views of old Moscow — historical reconstructions by which the medieval city is still imagined.
Minimum route — 45 minutes for the essentials
The studio with the same view from the window, then the views of old Moscow.
