Dear friends!

We have to inform you that the museum and estate areas are undergoing repair and restoration work.

In the period 2024-2025, seven cultural heritage sites will be gradually restored. These works will not only extend the lifespan of wooden buildings, many of which have never been renovated before, but they will also ensure that all the facilities and exhibitions located within them remain accessible to visitors throughout the year.

The Main House of the Anton Chekhov Estate, which has been closed for renovation since last November, is now reopened and eagerly welcomes visitors!

After the restoration, expositions of wing Seagull and the Fire Shed were also reopened.

In addition to that, in the regular way, you can visit: the Ambulance Station, Russian Bath House, Melikhovo Primary School, the Chekhov’s Drawings exhibition area, the “Writer's Kitchen” literary writer’s inner working exhibition and the Melikhovo Weather Station interactive site.

The exhibitions "Marriage Fever" and "Tuberculosis — the struggle between body and spirit" have been extended open for visiting.

The Wing Kitchen exhibition is still undergoing restoration.

As before, you are welcome to walk around the grounds, visit the museum either on your own or as part of a guided tour as a random visitor or in a group. In addition to that, you may take part in interactive, educational programs, master classes, concerts and join many other interesting events.

The Chekhov Studio theater in Melikhovo invites you to a weekly repertoire of performances and theatrical Saturdays.

Since October 14th, 2024, the Chekhov Letters Museum has been closed for restoration purposes as well. Its renovated exhibition is scheduled to open at the end of this year.
