Rimsky-Korsakov apartment museum

The museum devoted to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) was opened in 1971. It is housed in the apartment where the composer spent the last 15 years of his life and wrote eleven of his fifteen operas, including Sadko, Le Coq d'Or and The Tale of TsarSaltan. The memorial part of the apartment is made up of four rooms: Rimsky-Korsakov's study, the living room, the dining room and the hall. The rest of the apartment has been reconstructed: here there is an exhibition hall where lots of materials about the composer's life and work are displayed, and a concert hall. In the study there is his desk, his favorite armchair, an old writing desk made by Tikhvin cabinet-makers, a memorial address designed by Vrubel towards the thirty-fifth anniversary of the composer's work. The main attraction of the living room is a Becker grand piano, which was played by S.Rakhmaninov, A.Skryabin. A.Glazunov, I. Stravinsky and Rimsky-Korsakov himself. The walls of the dining room are hung with painted portraits of the composer's ancestors. He belonged to an Old Russian family, renowned since late fourteenth century. On the dining table there is family silver and such memorial pieces as a silver saltcellar and biscuit-dish.
