Музей трёх актёров, Film actors' museum in Moscow, Russia
The Museum of Three Actors (Muzey tryokh aktyorov) is a private museum in Moscow dedicated to the performers Yuri Nikulin, Georgy Vitsin, and Evgeny Morgunov. It is set inside a private apartment and holds a large collection of photographs, personal belongings, and memorabilia linked to the three artists.
The museum first opened on 14 October 1979 in an apartment on Voykovskaya Street, where Yuri Nikulin cut the ribbon and wrote "Uhozhu potryasenny" ("I leave shaken") in the visitor book, drawing a running figure. A second opening took place on 14 May 1993 at the Moscow City Club of Film Lovers on Berzarina Street, with director Leonid Gaidai cutting the ribbon. The founder and director is circus and variety artist Vladimir Isaakovich Tsukerman.
The museum's collection includes about 300 videocassettes of films, over a hundred audiocassettes of the actors' voices, and 500 photo albums. Among the exhibits are calendars, postcards, posters, dolls, masks, and even vodka and sweets produced in honour of the famous trio.
The museum is located inside a private apartment, so it does not keep regular opening hours like a standard museum. It is best to call ahead to arrange a visit, since access depends entirely on staff availability.
The founder can recount a personal story behind nearly every object in the collection, having received many items directly from the actors during his youth. A visit here feels less like a tour of a museum and more like a conversation with someone who actually knew these performers.
