Exhibitions of the A. A. Blok Apartment Museum

About exhibition

The first museum dedicated to Alexander Blok — a central figure of the Silver Age of Russian culture. Opened on 25 November 1980 to mark the 100th anniversary of the poet's birth, it is located in the house where Blok spent the last nine years of his life. From 1912 he rented an apartment on the 4th floor, and in 1920 moved to the 2nd. It was here, in apartment No. 23, that he died on 7 August 1921. The ticket entitles the holder to visit the following exhibitions: “Memorial.” Based on numerous contemporaries' recollections and other sources, the poet's study, the dining room, the bedroom and the poet's wife's room have been recreated. Here you can see the authentic furnishings of Blok's study and personal belongings of the poet and his family, provided for long-term safekeeping by the Literary Museum of the Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House). “Literary.” Located in the apartment in which Blok spent the last 1.5 years of his life, it tells the story of the poet's creative and personal path and is arranged as a journey through a book whose pages are formed by the walls of the museum space. “Blok and His Circle.” The exhibition is presented on the principle of open collections; it is based on authentic items from the museum's collections and memorial exhibits from the Pushkin House. These include materials related to the poet's relatives as well as to famous figures of the Silver Age whose fates intersected with Blok's at different times.
