House-museum of Maria Yermolova
House-museum of Maria Yermolova, Biographical museum in Presnensky District, Moscow, Russia.
The House-museum of Maria Yermolova occupies a building with small-pane bay windows containing numerous rooms arranged with original furniture and authentic plants. The structure preserves the complete living space of the actress as she inhabited it.
The building was constructed in 1773 as a meeting place for Freemasons and became the residence of actress Maria Yermolova from 1889 until her death in 1928. The transformation from a social gathering space to a private home marked a significant shift in the building's purpose.
The museum displays how Maria Yermolova lived and worked, with her personal items, photographs, and costumes from her years at the Maly Theatre. Visitors see how a prominent actress of the 1800s arranged her home and what role theater played in her daily life.
The museum is located on Tverskoy Boulevard and can be visited on multiple days of the week with extended evening hours on certain nights. Visitors should check current hours in advance as they vary by day.
The house earned the nickname Pink Window Glass House due to specially manufactured rose-tinted windows installed to protect the actress's sensitive eyes. This unusual architectural feature was a personal adaptation to her health needs.
