Музей-квартира Г. С. Улановой

This museum-apartment occupies apartment 185 on the sixth floor of a high-rise at Kotelnicheskaya Embankment and showcases the living spaces of a celebrated ballet dancer. The rooms preserve their original furniture and personal belongings exactly as they were arranged during the resident's lifetime.

The museum opened in 2004, documenting the home of a prima ballerina who lived here from 1986 until her death. The rooms contain photographs and objects that trace a decades-long career in one of Russia's most important ballet institutions.

The apartment displays personal artworks and a large library with signed editions that reflect the interests of a leading 20th-century dancer. These collections reveal how a major artist filled her living space with cultural influences and intellectual pursuits.

Visits take place Wednesday through Sunday and require advance booking to secure your spot. Planning ahead is necessary since group sizes are limited to preserve the intimate apartment atmosphere.

The apartment preserves the exact placement of every piece of furniture and object from when the dancer lived here, including stage costumes and career memorabilia. This meticulous preservation turns the visit into a personal time capsule rather than a typical exhibition.
