Gorky's House is inside a magnificent Art Nouveau building and is worth visiting if only for the amazing architecture of the house. The exhibition seems like it had experienced better days, everything seemed a bit dusty. There are descriptions of each room available in the rooms in various languages, quite detailed and informative. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Very interesting, stunning furniture with everything left how it was. Information cards in all languages to assist you as you go, and it's all for free. Well worth a visit if you have a few hours to burn in Moscow.

Very interesting the house where Gorky lived. It is certainly a touch of history, very dark and kept in its original format. There are information cards with various languages in each room to assist you as you go around.

Also, Maxim Gorky was an interesting... More

Including this handsome Art Nouveau mansion tucked away on a quiet Moscow street. For those interested in Art Nouveau this mansion which used to belong to the Ryabushinskys clan of business tycoons, and later housed Gorky after his return from exile, is a must see, particularly the flowing, organic-looking marble main staircase. There are a few negatives however. The place... More

Nothing can prepares you with the unbelievable art nouveaux interior of the Ryabushkyn mantion turned to Maxim Gorgy villa!! The main stairs itself worth the trouble to find it

Even if not that interested in Gorky, see for circular staircase and decor. Somewhat hard to find (like other attractions in Moscow) because have to go around a corner.
