The two-story building, built at the end of the 19th century, is recognized as an architectural monument. Vasnetsov's drawings formed the basis of the architectural project. Residents of the capital affectionately call the house-museum "Teremok" for the exterior decor in the neo-Russian style - a combination of modern and old Russian traditional style with details from northern architecture.
Different parts of the house have different styles. So, the living room looks like a boyar room of the 17th century, while the dining room resembles a peasant's house. On the first floor, which was residential, there were rooms for the Vasnetsov family, a dining room and a living room. It was here that the so-called "Vasnetsov Wednesdays" gathered, which were attended by the entire Moscow intelligentsia. The Vasnetsov Memorial Museum was opened in his house in 1953 at the initiative of the heirs, who transferred the building to state control.

Read moreThis was a place I'd have never discovered on my own. It was located at the centre of the city but slightly hard to find. My friend took me there and I was honestly less than excited about it but I tagged along. I found potraits of different people and although they were good I didn't get a sense of wonder or awe. I found the woodwork by his brother to be more detailed and really well made.

Through imagining a scene in a certain way and placing the various conjured characters perfectly coordinating with the rest of the story, this person has brought a new dimension to this form of art. Loved the experience and it was inspiring. The museum also requires more funding...
Read moreЯ редко пишу комментарии (особенно негативные), но тут уже был предел полного хамства, в результате чего я даже не смогла попасть в музей. Судите сами!
Пришла в музей в 16:05, причём стоить учесть что ехала как полный поклонник Васнецова в этот музей из Германии. Лил жуткий дождь и я промокла до нитки, но в музей хотелось попасть в любом случае.
Прихожу вовремя и «милая» дама на кассе сообщает, что у неё нет билетов и музей закрыт (повторюсь: было 16:05, музей небольшой и рекомендуемая длина просмотра 45 минут). На короткое объяснение и внушительную просьбу разрешить мне хоть короткий осмотр, сказала, что ничем помочь не может и чтобы я покинула здание музея (на улице лил жуткий дождь.
Я ещё такого ни в одном музее не встречала, серьёзно! Ориентация на клиента нулевая и абсолютная бестактность!
У меня было в Москве несколько часов и я так и не смогла попасть в дом, где творил мой любимый художник.
Наверное великий Виктор Михаилович Васнецов не мог себе и в страшном сне представить, что может быть такое отношение к истинным поклонникам...
