Bulgakov House

Bulgakov House is a literary museum in a Russian Art Nouveau building at number 10 Bolshaya Sadovaya Street, constructed in the early 1900s. The museum occupies apartment number 50 and displays materials related to the author's life and literary career.

The building was constructed between 1902 and 1905 as luxury rental apartments and later converted into communal housing after the October Revolution. This transformation reflects the major social changes that swept through Russian society.

The museum displays manuscripts, photographs, and personal belongings of the author, connecting his life story with visitors through these objects. The rooms give a sense of how Bulgakov lived and worked within these walls.

The rooms are accessible for self-guided visits and group tours that provide an overview of the author's life and work. It helps to allow enough time to properly explore the personal items and documents on display.

The staircase leading to the author's former apartment became covered with fan tributes and messages between 1984 and 1986, showing how deeply connected readers remain to his work. Authorities attempted multiple times to remove these markings, but fans kept returning to add more.
