In 1999 the apartment where Vladimir Nabokov was born in 1899 was turned into the Vladimir Nabokov Museum. It was opened on the 100th anniversary of the great Russian writer's birth on the first floor of the house.  The dining room, the living room and library have been recreated as to how they would have looked when Nabokov lived there.  The museum also has exhibits on Nabokov's life and work. Since 2008 the museum has been part of the Philology and Art Department of the St Petersburg State University.
