The F.M. Dostoevsky Literary Memorial Museum opened on November 13, 1971, in the building at 5/2 Kuznechny Lane. Dostoevsky rented an apartment in this building twice: for a very brief period in 1846, and from October 1878 until the day of his death — January 28, 1881. The beginning and the end of his creative life thus converged in a single place.
It was here that he worked on his early novella The Double, and here that his final novel The Brothers Karamazov was written. The Dostoevsky family apartment was reconstructed based on the memoirs of the writer's contemporaries and his wife.
Today, the museum invites visitors to explore the memorial apartment, the literary exhibition "F.M. Dostoevsky. Life and Work: Pro et Contra", as well as temporary exhibitions, lectures, and literary events.
