Scriabin Memorial Museum, Biographical museum in Arbat District, Russia.
The Scriabin Memorial Museum is a biographical museum in the Arbat District that occupies the former residence of Russian composer Alexander Scriabin. The location displays musical instruments, personal objects, and documents connected to his time living there.
The composer lived and worked here between 1912 and 1915, before leaving the city. After the October Revolution, the house came under state control, and it opened as a museum to the public in 1922.
The house carries the name of the composer who lived and worked here. Visitors see the rooms where Scriabin created his compositions and can sense how his daily life unfolded in this space.
The museum is located in a residential building in the heart of the Arbat District and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should know that this is a small, intimate house, so only a few people can view the rooms at the same time.
The museum holds a Bechstein grand piano on which the composer himself played and tested his works. The instrument remains functional today and demonstrates the craftsmanship of that era.
