MUSEUM OF THEATRICAL AND MUSICAL ART
Go there and contact
The museum is housed in a building built in 1828 by the prolific Carlo Rossi, who built the neoclassical ensemble of Ostrovsky Square and Rossi Street. While the building behind the Pushkin Theatre (also designed by Rossi) is not of great interest, it houses a collection that will appeal to theatre lovers. Since 1922, it has been possible to see sketches of sets and costumes from the 17th to the 20th century, portraits, private archives of V. Komissarjevskaya, M. Petitpa, M. Savina, A. Spessivtseva, and posters. The museum has a unique collection of theatrical costumes as well as a rich phonotheque, where the voices of the greatest opera singers can be heard. Its collections have often been exhibited abroad, and the museum sometimes organizes meetings and debates with actors from St. Petersburg. It is organized in 6 chronological sections: from "The origins of professional theatre in Russia in the 18th century: the Enlightenment on the Russian stage" to "The Soviet theatre behind the Iron Curtain". Finally, the museum has several branches on the theme of dramatic arts and music:
Sheremetev Palace - Music Museum. Naberezhnaya reki Fontanki, 34.
Chaliapin House-Museum. Ulitsa Graftio 2-B.
Rimsky-Korsakov Memorial Museum. Zagorodniy prospekt, 28.
Apartment-museum memorial to the Samoilov family of actors. Ulitsa Stremannaya, 8.
