Dostoyevsky Memorial Museum

The memorial apartment of one of Russia's most renowned and prolific writers hosts occasional exhibitions of contemporary art.
It is conveniently located just one block away from Vladimirskaya metro station.

The great Russian writer, Dostoyevsky lived here, his last apartment in St. Petersburg, between 1878 and 1881 and the flat is still filled with memorabilia relating to his life and work.

Dostoyevsky based many of his stories and novels in St. Petersburg, especially in the Vladimirsky region of the city where his apartment is located. In celebration of his literary genius, the city erected a monument to the great writer in the spring of 1997.

Here you can also see his personal belongings, life- time publications etc. This simple, completely ordinary Petersburg apartment building, devoid of distinctive architectural features, has today become one of the most popular attractions in the city.

Faithfully reconstructed, the apartment is full of photos, drawings and documents telling about Dostoyevsky's life, his literary heritage, his impact on the world's culture.

Hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 11am to 6pm.
