The interiors of the mansion where composer and pianist Alexander Scriabin lived will be restored in Moscow, according to Natalia Sergunina, Deputy Mayor of Moscow. Historical and cultural research is currently underway, which will inform the development of a restoration project.
This architectural monument from the 19th and early 20th centuries is located at 11 Bolshoy Nikolopeskovsky Lane, Building 1. It has the status of a cultural heritage site of federal significance.
"Since 1918, the building has housed the Scriabin Memorial Museum. Here, you can see the composer's personal belongings and hear recordings of his works performed by the composer. Concerts and musical evenings are also held here," said Natalya Sergunina.
The grand opening of the A.N. Scriabin Memorial Museum to the public took place on July 17, 1922. Objects that surrounded the master during his life and were dear to him remain in place. These include a color-lighting apparatus for accompanying the symphonic poem "Prometheus," paintings, furniture, photographs, and much more.
History of the mansion
The one-story house was built in the first half of the 19th century, and in 1903 the façade was changed and a second residential floor was added according to the design of the architect Sergei Voskresensky.
The mansion's last owner was Apollon Grushka, professor and dean of the Faculty of History and Philology at the Imperial Moscow University (now Lomonosov Moscow State University); he lived there until 1920. The house was visited by philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev, poet Konstantin Balmont, and theater figures Vsevolod Meyerhold and Alexander Tairov.
