Lenin Museum in Moscow, Biographical museum in central Moscow, Russia
The Lenin Museum occupies the former Moscow City Duma building in Kitay-gorod, featuring multiple exhibition halls across three floors dedicated to Soviet history.
The museum opened on April 15, 1936, as a testament to Lenin's role in establishing the Soviet state and leading the Russian Revolution of 1917.
The collection contains 75,000 artifacts, including Lenin's personal belongings, photographs, documents, and propaganda materials that shaped Soviet ideology for generations.
The museum transformed into a branch of the State Historical Museum, with sections of its collection now displayed in rotating exhibitions throughout the main building.
Following the events of October 1993, the Central Lenin Museum ceased independent operations, and its building now houses the Museum of the Patriotic War of 1812.
