House-Museum of Leopold and Mstislav Rostropovich, Family museum in Baku, Azerbaijan.

The Rostropovich House-Museum is a former family residence in Baku that displays personal items belonging to its inhabitants. The rooms contain furniture, clothing, documents, and photographs that document the family's life and surroundings.

The house was built as a family residence and the Rostropovich family lived there from 1925 to 1931. Leopold Rostropovich had been invited to Baku from Orenburg by composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov to teach at the Azerbaijan State Conservatory. Mstislav Rostropovich was born in this house on 27 March 1927. The museum opened in 1998, and Mstislav attended the ceremony with his wife Galina Vishnevskaya.

The house shows how the Rostropovich family lived in Baku and what role music played in their daily routine. The rooms give a sense of how a young musician grew up in this household and how international artists made their home in this city.

The museum is on a street renamed after the Rostropovich family, in central Baku. It occupies a single-storey apartment of four rooms and an entrance hall, so the visit is short and level, with no stairs between the exhibition rooms.

The museum opened on 4 March 2002, and Mstislav Rostropovich attended the ceremony with his wife, singer Galina Vishnevskaya. A clock in the house is stopped at 14:08, the hour of his death. Among the exhibits is the 1942 letter his father Leopold wrote to him.
