Nikolai Nekrasov Apartment-Museum

In 1946 the Nikolai Nekrasov Apartment-Museum was opened in the apartment where the Russian poet and author lived from 1857 until his death in 1877. It was in this apartment that Nekrasov edited the Sovremmenik and Otechestvennye Zapiski journals and entertained Russian cultural greats such as Dostoevsky, Ostrovsky, Saltykov-Schedrin, Tolstoy and Turgenev. The museum has displays on the life and work of Nekrasov, as well as on his contemporaries, and in 1985 the room of Ivan Panaev, one of the editors of Sovremmenik, was recreated to how it looked when he worked there.  The museum is run as a branch of the All-Russian Aleksandr Pushkin Museum.
