Gogol House

The most famous resident to have ever inhabited the manor on 7A Nikitskiy Boulevard was none other than Nikolay Vasilievich Gogol. The Gogol House is the only place in Moscow that keeps many momentous memories alive by combining a research library of over 250 000 volumes, a research centre, an exhibition hall and a memorial museum. The museum is broken up into several rooms (his cabinet, the living room, the “Government Inspector” room and the “Room of Remembrance”). In the library, visitors have access to a large selection of books dedicated N.V. Gogol, psychology, art, philosophy, literary studies and theology. The Gogol House also hosts a number of events, ranging from literary readings to plays and concerts dedicated to Gogol’s and other prominent Russian authors’ works.
