Maxim Gorki

Nizhny Novgorod's most famous son is the playwright, Maxim Gorki. We popped into his house today. Not exactly welcoming: the door was unlocked (but not open) when we arrived, but on a chain. Once we'd been granted access, there were at least four people working there, but it wasn't clear what they all did. One lady's job seemed to be to follow us around and turn the lights on and off. Another sold us the tickets (once she'd opened up the ticket office) - although, given that we were the only visitors, you'd struggle to call it a full-time job. Interesting museum though.
