Isaac Brodsky Apartment Museum, Art museum in Arts Square, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Isaac Brodsky Apartment Museum occupies a residential building on Arts Square and displays the rooms where the painter lived and worked. The exhibition shows his own paintings, his collection of works by other Russian artists, and personal objects arranged throughout the apartment as they were originally.
The artist moved into this apartment in 1924 and used it as both home and studio for about 15 years. After his death, the space became a museum in 1949 to preserve and display his life and work.
The rooms reveal how a successful early 20th century painter lived and arranged his surroundings. Walking through the spaces, you notice how the furnishings and decor reflect the lifestyle and tastes of an influential artist of that era.
The apartment is centrally located and easily reached on foot from nearby transport stops. Visitors should know that only small groups can enter the rooms at a time to preserve the intimate setting of the original spaces.
The second floor contains a studio space with exceptionally good acoustics that continues to host musical performances occasionally. This room gained its special sound qualities from the original architecture and construction of the era when the artist lived there.
