The Russian writer and poet Andrey Bely spent the first 20 years of his life living in an apartment on Old Arbat which in 2000 was turned into a memorial apartment.  The rooms have been reconstructed to look as they would have when Bely lived there and one of the room's walls is taken up by a reproduction of graph drawn by Bely to reflect all the influences throughout his life.  The museum is run as a branch of the Aleksandr Pushkin State Museum. Admission to this museum is free on the third Sunday of the month.
