Bulgakov Museum in Moscow

The Bulgakov Museum in Moscow is a Writer's house museum which commemorates the life and work of Russian author Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov where he lived in Moscow, Russia. A part of his novel The Master and Margarita is set in the same location. Graffiti art which includes some text from the novel, as well as drawings of its characters, have decorated the external walls and stairwells of the apartment building since the beginning of Perestroika. It is located a few blocks from Patriarch Ponds, the scene of the opening chapter of the novel, where the Moscow city government had planned to erect statues commemorating the novel and is close to Mayakovskaya metro station. Originally constructed as a rental house by millionaire Ilya Pigit, the owner of the tobacco factory Ducat, the home was fitted for the first working commune after the revolution. The house was visited by dancer Isadora Duncan and poet Sergey Esenin, Alice Koonen and Andrei Bely, Vasily Surikov and bass Fyodor Shaliapin, imaginists and futurists, the members of the artistic group the Jack of Diamonds, and the whole Moscow bohemians, filling up with the proletariat in the early post-revolutionary years. The studios of the artists Pyotr Konchalovsky and Georgy Yakulov, which were situated in the court of the house 10, still remain, and artistic life continued to pulsate there weekly.
