Exhibition of the Ulyanov Family Apartment Museum

About exhibition

The museum was opened in April 1970 on the 100th anniversary of the birth of V. I. Ulyanov (Lenin) in the house on the former Streletskaya Street, where the family of I. N. Ulyanov, inspector of public schools of the Simbirsk Governorate, rented an apartment from D. F. Zharkova in 1871–1875. This is where V. I. Ulyanov (Lenin) spent his early childhood. The apartment consists of four small rooms, a kitchen and an entry hall. Furniture, books, 19th-century household items, and authentic belongings of the Ulyanov family allow visitors to go back almost one and a half centuries, feel the atmosphere of those years, learn about the family and the childhood of the founder of the Soviet state V. I. Ulyanov (Lenin), and about the everyday life of Simbirsk's democratic intelligentsia in the 1870s–1880s.
