Shalyapin Apartment-Museum

This museum gives a beautifully rounded portrayal of Russia’s most famous opera singer. Three rooms of Fyodor Shalyapin’s former apartment have been recreated using the singer’s own furniture and works from his art collection, including the famous portrait by Boris Kustodiev. Other star exhibits include the famous costume that Shalyapin wore for his definitive portrayal of Tsar Boris Godunov in Musorgsky’s opera of the same name.
