Photo and description

Manor house-museum of P.A. and V.P. Hannibalov is located in the family estate of Pushkin's ancestors - Petrovsky. Pyotr Abramovich was the great-uncle of the great poet, and Veniamin Petrovich was the son of Pyotr Abramovich, who immediately after his death inherited a large manor house.

Having visited a tour in a large house, you can learn a lot about this family. As soon as A.S. Pushkin graduated from the Lyceum in 1817, he had the opportunity to meet his great-uncle - Hannibal Pyotr Abramovich and later often visited here during the lifetime of his son - Hannibal Benjamin Petrovich. It is known that Pushkin especially valued the estate of his famous ancestors, which is emphasized in the storyline of the story in this museum.

The excursion began in the entryway. It was in this place that the coat of arms of the Hannibals was placed, which was an enlarged plaster copy of one of the seals of Hannibal A.P., as well as a small fragment of a diagram called "The genealogical tree of the Hannibals - Pushkins - Rzhevsky".

В the reception room tells the story of Peter Abramovich (1742-1826), who became the owner of the Petrovskoe estate in 1782 according to a separate act. Here you can see his will, made in 1776, a boundary plan of the backyard territory of Pyotr Abramovich, a photograph of the estate in one of the magazines published in 1914, entitled "The Capital and the Estate", a small fragment of material that was on the armchair of the owner of the house, which has silk embroidery, made with silver and gold threads in the 80s of the 18th century. Several museum showcases display materials concerning the archaeological excavations carried out during 1969-1999 in Petrovskoye, while dishes, household items, a small elephant talisman, as well as coins dating to the first half of the 18th century were found.

The next room is the study of Pyotr Abramovich. This room contains real family relics: documentation, archives, documents, fortifications, books on geometry, astronomy, as well as weapons of the 18th century. Here you can see the seal that belonged to A.P. Hannibal and was a product of ivory, decorated with glass and silver, as well as the "Menaion" for September 1768 and the book by D. Cantemir in 1722. In addition, a display cabinet is exhibited in the office, which displays weapons of the 18th century, collectible medals of the 18th century, as well as a portrait of Empress Catherine II. Right under the portrait, on the surface of the table, there is a "Certificate of Merit" by Elizaveta Petrovna AP. Hannibal on the salary in 1746 of the Mikhailovskaya lip, her letter to A.P. Hannibal in 1765, as well as a letter from Prince Pavel Petrovich to Hannibal Ivan in 1775. The exposition presents a bas-relief of Peter the Great, made of cast iron, and tools from the 18th century.

The decor inherent in the living room is typical for the period 1820-1830 - at that time the owner of the house was already the grandson of Abram Hannibal - Veniamin Petrovich. Here you can see an old grand piano from 1839, an old porcelain vase from the Hannibal family, as well as a portrait of A.S. Pushkin, made by an unknown artist in 1830.

In the personal account of Veniamin Petrovich, you can learn more about him, who belonged to A.S. Pushkin's cousin and was just a friend of the Pushkin family, and also an admirer of the outstanding poet's talent.

The office is furnished with furniture from the first third of the 19th century. There is an icon of St. John the Baptist, the famous portrait of Alexander I, presented in a copy of V. Lebrun, a portrait of Hannibal Pavel Isaakovich in miniature, a box intended for Benjamin Petrovich's tea.

In the front room, the way of the Hannibal family becomes clearer - the guide will tell in detail not only about the origin, but also the upbringing of Abram Hannibal by the great Tsar Peter I, as well as his participation in the Northern War and the theme of his ancestors in the work of A.S. Pushkin. In this room there is a portrait of Peter I, made by an unknown artist in the 18th century, an engraving "Poltava Brotherhood", an engraving "Battle of Lesnaya", a portrait of Hannibal Ivan Abramovich - the poet's great-uncle, a portrait of Elizabeth Petrovna.

In the corridor there is an exposition that consolidates everything that was said during the excursion, reflecting the genus of Hannibals in the work of A.S. Pushkin.
