The Tchaikovsky State Memorial Musical Museum-Reserve in Klin is the oldest memorial musical museum in Russia founded by the brother of the composer M.I.Tchaikovsky in 1894. Nowadays it is a unique monument-complex that has been completely preserved. It consists of the memorial house in which the composer lived and worked, the memorial park with the buildings attached to the house, the new building for the archives of the museum, the Concert Hall and also Frolovskoye, Maydanovo and Demyanovo Estates. Suburban town of Klin became part of musical culture history with the name of the great Russian composer spent the last eight years of his life in Klin and its environs. That was the most brilliant period of his creative genius when he composed his operas “The Sorceress” and “Cherevichki”, “The Queen of Spades” and “Iolanta”, ballets “The Sleeping Beauty” and “The Nutcracker”, the Fifth and the Sixth symphony.

I had always wanted to go to Tchaikovsky's House and was fortunate enough to obtain a lift from Moscow. It took nearly two hours but it was well worth it. The House/ Museum oozes Tchaikovsky's lifestyle, whims and taste and you are able to walk around the garden and go up and listen to a piece of his music in his house which was such a treat and privilege. He valued his privacy and you feel his bond with the house. It was an afternoon to remember and treasure.

If you are in in the city of Klin or if you never been there but you are visiting Russia/Moscow - ask your tour guide to take you Museum of Christmas Tree Decoration. Wow, what a magical/nostalgic place to re-visit your childhood dreams about Christmas decorations in the middle of Russia. Not only museum is great (tour guides are fabulous) but don't forget to stop at the store (right next to the museum) and purchase some fabulous hand made Russian Christmas decorations. Affordable, great presents to your friends and family for Christmas.
