The first in Russia Mikhail Bulgakov State Museum was founded on the 26th of March, 2007, by the Government of Moscow in apartment number 50 in house nember 10 on Bolshaya Sadovaya street. Thus the writer’s first address – Bolshaya sadovaya street, 10, apartment № 50 — became the first and only Memorial Museum of Mikhail Bulgakov in Moscow. In autumn of 1921 a young writer with his first wife Tatiana Lappa made his first home in Moscow in a small room of a huge communal apartment. Despite everything we succeed in preserving the special atmosphere of this place which became a cross-point of three different epochs of Russian history: pre-revolutionary Russia, the Soviet era and the Post-Soviet reality. It is Bulgakov’s creative work that makes it possible to find out what unites these three epochs and Mikhail Bulgakov Museum hopes to continue this search.

Stone lions guard the gateway of this splendid Russian classical-style building, which houses a constantly expanding collection of items that document major events in Russia over the past century and a half.
If you want to understand 20th century Russian history, starting with the Tsar's Russian empire, Bolshevik revolution, soviet era and post 1991 Russia, this is the place. Although the very recent Putin era history is kinda propagandistic, the museum still worth visiting.
