Дом пашкова экскурсии: Дом Пашкова — Российская государственная библиотека

Как попасть в Пашков дом или почему опаздывать иногда полезно: superafonina — LiveJournal

«На закате солнца высоко над городом на каменной террасе одного из самых красивых зданий в Москве, здания, построенного около полутораста лет назад, находились двое: Воланд и Азазелло. Они не были видны снизу, с улицы, так как их закрывала от ненужных взоров балюстрада с гипсовыми вазами и гипсовыми цветами. Но им город был виден почти до самых краев. (…) Положив острый подбородок на кулак, скорчившись на табурете и поджав одну ногу под себя, Воланд не отрываясь смотрел на необъятное сборище дворцов, гигантских домов и маленьких, обреченных на слом лачуг.»

Примерно с этой точки обзора смотрели герои Булгакова, прощаясь с Москвой, только на этаж выше, к сожалению, в данный момент бельведер-ротонда закрыт для посещения. Но вид с верхних этажей здания по-прежнему завораживает.

Дом Пашкова в силу расположения невозможно не заметить, величественный, изящный и таинственный — со стороны Моховой никаких вывесок, парадной лестницей никто не пользуется. Всегда было интересно узнать, что и кто внутри.

Почему опаздывать не всегда плохо

Услышав по любимому радио Культура 91,6, что скоро начнется свободная экскурсия в Доме Пашкова, я поехала к месту встречи — памятнику Достоевскому у библиотеки им. Ленина. Опоздав на 10 минут, группу с экскурсоводом я уже не застала, не привыкшая легко сдаваться, я пошла к воротам дома Пашкова.

Оказывается, главный вход и единственный подъезд для карет в бывшую усадьбу находится с обратной стороны — со Староваганьковского переулка.

Вход в здание строго охраняется, попасть туда можно только по пропуску или с экскурсоводом. Милиционер в будке просьбам и уговорам не поддается, контактов не дает. Слава интернету, после недолгих поисков телефона, бабушка в справочной Ленинской библиотеки рассказала мне, что нужно сделать, если хочется посмотреть Пашков дом изнутри.

Схема одинаково годится для посещения любых залов Прекрасной Ленинской библиотеки, в том числе главного читального зала, где героиня Муравьевой искала перспективных женихов в фильме «Москва слезам не верит». Нужно только знать название отдела, для посещения Дома Пашкова — это музыкальный или картографический отдел.

Пропуска оформляют во 2-м подъезде центрального здания (на фотографии он в центре).

Чтобы оформить пропуск нужно иметь паспорт, прописка может быть хоть куала-лумпурская!

После заполнения короткой анкеты, на вас заводят карточку, которая действительна до конца года. С ней можно будет быстро получить пропуск по предъявлению паспорта в любой отдел ленинской библиотеки.

Как же удивился милиционер, когда я предъявила ему официальный пропуск на входе в Дом Пашкова.

Дом долгое время был на реставрации, внутри постарались восстановить интерьеры, все свежее и пока необжитое. Внутри проходят экскурсии и можно присоединиться и послушать или побродить самостоятельно. Дом обильно уставлен огнетушителям, видимо традиция берёт начало с пожара 1812 года, когда дом сильно пострадал.

Про сам дом и его историю рассказывать не буду, теперь вы знаете, как туда попасть и сможете исследовать все сами, почитать в интернете или послушать на месте, присоединившись к какой-нибудь экскурсии. Немного фоток:

Музыкальный отдел

Картографический отдел
Карта Москвы 1864 года — крайне любопытно разглядывать.

Вид из окна во двор — к выходным монтируют шатёр для свадьбы, можно и так использовать библиотеку.

Дом Пашкова открыт с 10 до 18 часов, с 17:00 книги уже не выдают, соответственно, со входом могут возникнуть сложности, так что, лучше успеть зайти до 16:00.
Интересной всем Москвы!

История строительства

Возведение здания в стиле классицизм продлилось с 1784 по 1786 год. Заказчиком и первым владельцем особняка стал Петр Егорович Пашков – сын денщика Петра I. Имя архитектора не сохранилось и до сих пор остается предметом споров. 

Современные исследователи сходятся во мнении, что проект создал Василий Баженов в свойственной ему манере, но никаких письменных доказательств этому нет. Говорят, что из-за обиды на Екатерину Великую и то, что его проекты Кремлевского дворца и комплекса в Царицыно так и не были осуществлены, зодчий развернул главный фасад в глухой переулок, а задняя часть дома была обращена к Кремлю.

С первых дней здание привлекало всеобщее внимание: на склоне холма был разбит сад с фонтанами и экзотическими птицами, главный корпус с флигелями изначально был выкрашен в оранжевый цвет, а по праздникам устраивали иллюминацию. 

Во время войны 1812 года дом сгорел и был восстановлен за казенный счет, настолько он был важен для облика столицы. Говорят, что во время визита прусского короля Фридриха-Вильгельма III в 1818 году именно сюда его с сыновьями привели, чтобы показать самый красивый вид на Москву; тогда и появилось название «Балкон трех императоров». 

В 1839 году Пашков дом приобрели для нужд Университета. После этого в здании находился Московский дворянский институт, городская гимназия и Румянцевский музей. Наконец, в 1921 году оно перешло к Публичной библиотеке СССР имени Ленина, и по сей день находится в ведении РГБ.

Описание, особенности

Благодаря расположению на холме, дом Пашкова словно взмывает в небо, и визуально кажется выше кремлевских башен. Современный облик он приобрел в 1930-х годах, когда окружающую его ограду снесли, а к зданию пристроили парадную лестницу. В Большом зале в стиле ампир оформление потолка создает прекрасную акустику. С балкона открывается панорамный вид на исторический центр: 

• Кремль, 
• Александровский сад,
• Боровицкую площадь.

Из-за особенностей своей архитектуры и местоположения, дом Пашкова всегда был овеян слухами и легендами. Изнутри дом кажется больше, чем выглядит снаружи – Булгаков не преминул использовать подобную иллюзию в описании бала Сатаны. Бельведер на крыше стал местом встречи Воланда с Левием Матвеем, и отсюда же Воланд и Азазелло прощались с Москвой, покидая ее. Ходят слухи и о том, что первый бал Наташи Ростовой проходил именно здесь. 

По зданию до сих пор бродит библиотечный призрак, который помогает отыскать в хранилище редкие книги. А в разрушенных подземельях в самом холме был не то спуск в подземную Москву, не то хранилище бесценных рукописей – легендарная Либерея Ивана Грозного. 

Что внутри

Сейчас в главном корпусе дома Пашкова находится Большой зал, в правом крыле – отдел рукописей, в левом – отделы картографии, нотных изданий и звукозаписи Российской государственной библиотеки. Попасть внутрь в рабочие часы могут зарегистрированные читатели РГБ. Для всех остальных залы открыты во время проведения экскурсий, концертов, выставок, церемоний вручения литературных премий и других культурных мероприятий.

90000 Pashkov house in Moscow. Pashkov House in Moscow: excursions, photo, address 90001 90002 Each capital has unique recognizableAttractions, according to which they instantly determine which city they are talking about. In the main city of Russia it is Pashkov’s house. In Moscow, so called a building immortalized in world literature by Mikhail Afanasievich Bulgakov, from the belvedere of which, at sunset, Woland and Azazello examined the beauty of Moscow and said goodbye to her forever. 90003 90004 Who was the man who gave the name to the architectural masterpiece 90005 90002 «It is not in vain that Bulgakov set his heroes to the heroes, Well, no, not in the house, but on the roof (Then in Moscow he was all taller…) «. One of the most beautiful buildings named the brilliant author of the» Master and Margarita «Pashkov House in Moscow, built to order» the first Russian vodka king, Pashkov Peter Egorovich, ambitious and foolish (scandalous with neighbors) rights . 90003 Not every captain-lieutenant (now the seniorlieutenant), who served even in the elite Life Guards of the Semyonovsky Regiment, could build his own personal Kremlin «in comfort» directly opposite the Moscow Kremlin. A rich farmer wanted to leave a memory for himself, and he succeeded — very few people do not know Pashkov’s house in Moscow.Many, admiring the architectural masterpiece, will want to know who was the master, who is the author and the executor of the project. This is how the grandson of orderly Peter I will be famous in the ages as a man who contributed to the unique charm of our capital, spread out on seven hills. 90004 One of the cities on seven hills 90005 90002 In the world there are more than a dozen cities locatedon the same number of hills, including Rome, Constantinople and Washington. The names of the Moscow hills excite the imagination — Vorobyovy Gory, Lefortovo Hill, Zayauzie.Vagankovsky Hill, which crowns one of Moscow’s most outstanding sights since 1784 рік, is now united with the Presnya area and is called the «Three Mountains». 90003 90004 The very center of the capital 90005 If you look at the map of the Centraladministrative district, it can be seen that despite the address (Vozdvizhenka Street 35, Building 1), Pashkov’s house in Moscow stands at the crossroads of Znamenka and Mokhovaya. The main exit leads to Starovagankovsky alley, and the front facade is deployed to Mokhovaya Street, and then to Borodino Hill and the Kremlin.»The navel of the earth,» and only. Before the palace, a terraced park with two stone pools, grottoes, sculptures, fountains, surrounded by a magnificent forged fence, the fragment of which was preserved from the Znamenka side to the present day, was originally built in front of the palace. Of course, on the territory of the site was owned by Pashkov house church of St. Nicholas the Sinner. The palace on Vagankovskom hill was the first in Moscow, and in the country a secular building, from which windows Ivanovskaya and Sobornaya Square and the Kremlin were visible.Nearby is the Stone Bridge. 90004 The genius of architecture 90005 90002 Who in those days could be the author of such a masterpiece, as Pashkov’s house in Moscow? The architect Vasily Bazhenov (1738-1799), the first vice-president of the Imperial Academy of Arts, a man whose merits to Russian architecture can not be overestimated. Suffice it to call the palace ensemble in Tsaritsyno, which he built for 10 years, and Pashkov’s house in Moscow to understand the scale of this genius of classicism.90003 90004 The top of creativity 90005 90002 Especially good is his Moscow masterpiece. The castle-fairy tale, according to experts, created on Vagankovskom hill Bazhenov. Pashkov House in Moscow admires all connoisseurs of architecture not only with its unique beauty, but also with the «perfect, perfect balance of all parts in a single structure». So wrote the connoisseur and connoisseur of architecture I. Grabar. And not only he believes that the academician of architecture Vasily Bazhenov created a handsome palace, looking upwards, reminiscent of a monumental sculpture on a pedestal.Pashkov House in Moscow, whose style is classicism, has become a symbol of this direction in Russia. Located to the surrounding streets at an angle, the house looks better at some distance, for example, from the point at the very beginning of the odd side of the Volkhonka. 90003 90004 The best angles 90005 90002 If you look at a house from afar, you can trace ita single composite solution — the pillars of the fence continues the staircase and columns of the facade, the circular terrace wraps around the top a graceful silhouette of the walls above which the colonnade of the belvedere rises.In some sources it is said that the original color of the walls was orange. This architectural masterpiece of quite a large size gives the impression of an air striving up the castle. 90003 90004 National treasure 90005 90002 The house was so good, and represented for Moscowsuch a value that after the fire of 1812, which did not pass the Pashkov Palace, funds for its restoration, despite the fabulous wealth of the owners, were allocated from the state treasury. The palace was a Moscow miracle — to its beauty were added festive fireworks and illuminations, arranged in honor of the frequent receptions given by the owners.Exotic birds sitting in expensive cages or walking in the park, increased the fabulous impression that Pashkov’s house produced in Moscow. The photos in the article show the palace in different angles, and it is clear how good it is. 90003 90004 From hand to hand 90005 90002 Somehow it’s a shame to read that some experts doubt the authorship of Bazhenov. 90003 90002 The last mistress of the house from the Pashkov family in 1839it was bought out by the state treasury for university needs. But in the following times the handsome man continued to change the owners.So, already in 1843 it comfortably settled the University noble board, which, in turn, was transformed into the Moscow Nobility Institute, later in 1852 — to the city gymnasium No. 4. In 1861 Pashkov House was transferred to the Rumyantsev Museum. 90003 90004 The birth of «Leninka» 90005 And in 1921 when more than 400 entered itrequisitioned personal libraries, all other departments of the museum are transferred to another building. The remaining books become the funds of the famous «Leninka», which, again, in turn, became the Russian State Library.Who did not know this library in Soviet Russia? We heard about it even those who had no idea about Pashkov’s house. The glory of this book depository was no less than the popularity of Pashkov’s house today. She was the heroine of many feature films, about her wrote poems — «… and from the nineteenth ce.90000 Pashkov House 90001 90002 On the top of Vagankovsky hill, facing the walls of Moscow Kremlin, there is a real palace named after its first owner — Pashkov House. 90003 90002 Built in just two years — from 1784 to 1786, Pashkov House is not only a brilliant example of Russian art of building, but also a significant landmark of its era. 90003 90002 Pashkov House offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Mokhovaya street from the side of Borovitskaya square.Bright white building, elevated on a high pedestal, is built by the classic three-part principle: a central body with a belvedere and a portico is combined with single-store galleries with side wings. The integrity of the structure is highlighted by a single theme decor, with which all the volumes of the composition of the main house are equally rich. 90003 90002 Almost till the end of the 18th century the manor on Vagankovsky hill was going from hand to hand, and finally, in тисяча сімсот вісімдесят чотири a rich landowner, the son of the Astrakhan governor-general, P.Pashkov purchased this piece of land on which he planned the construction of the manor. The authorship of this magnificent building could not be identified for a long time — at that time it was attributed to the architect M. Kazakov and to a Frenchman with surname Legrand. Only in the middle of the 20th century documents were found which showed that Pashkov House was built on the basis of the project of the great Russian architect V. Bazhenov. 90003 90002 The original look of the building was different from what we see now.In front of Pashkov House there was a beautiful garden, which amazed its contemporaries by its beauty, the garden fence perfectly complemented the unique image of the manor. In the time of Pashkov the belvedere of the palace was decorated with a statue of Mars, and the central portico was adorned by the coat of arms of the family. On the order of Pavel I, the coat of arms and the sculpture were dismantled and the wooden belvedere and the galleries, which were lost in fire in 1812, were later restored by architect Ossip Bove.The main staircase, designed by M. Dolganov, and the decorative fence of the hill that exist today, date back to the 30th years of the 20th century. 90003 90002 Heirs of Pashkov in the early 19th century, sold the house to the Moscow University, and since тисячі вісімсот шістьдесят один the building belonged to the Rumyantsev Museum. After the revolution it would house the rare manuscripts department of the Public Library of the USSR named after I. Lenin, which opened in 1921. Today Pashkov House is in the complex of buildings of the Russian State Library.Currently, it houses music department and the department of manuscripts, which opened to the public in 2009 after the renovation of the manor, which lasted for 20 years. 90003 .90000 Pashkov house 90001 90002 90003 Rumantsev museum (former Pashkov house).
