Dostoevsky Museum

The Dostoyevsky memorial museum is a literary museum in Saint Petersburg housed in the writer's former apartment. The rooms display period-accurate furniture, personal belongings, and manuscripts from his time there.

The writer lived here in two periods: first in 1846 and later from 1878 until his death in 1881. During this final time, he created some of his most significant works within these rooms.

The museum reflects the writer's importance in Russian intellectual life, and visitors can see his personal library and manuscripts that show how intensely he worked. The rooms convey a sense of how this influential thinker lived and thought.

The museum is located on Kuznetchnyy Lane and is easily reached by public transport, with all interior spaces accessible to visitors. Guided tours are offered in multiple languages, and it is worth checking opening hours in advance to plan your visit.

The room arrangement follows precise details from the memoirs of Anna Dostoyevskaya, the writer's wife, showing the authentic layout of his final residence. This careful reconstruction allows visitors to understand the exact daily life of the writer.
