Saint Petersburg writers

Dostoevsky Apartment Museum in Saint Petersburg guided tour

Dostoevsky Apartment Museum

A small museum was opened in the writer's apartment, which ended up being his last address.

Museum-Apartment of Anna Akhmatova at the Fountain House

This is a very interesting museum, and one which will tell a lot about the life of this poet, who lived in difficult times that are embodied in her creativity and fate itself.

Akhmatova's first husband, the poet Nikolai Gumilev, was shot, and her son, the historian Lev Gumilev, was convicted several times, and sent to various labor camps.
Her second husband and the owner of this apartment, art historian Nikolai Punin, was also tried, convicted, and died in the camps.

Masters of Arts Necropolis (Tikhvin Cemetery)

This is located in the Alexander Nevsky Monastery, and is certainly quite interesting, both in terms of the people whose path through life wound up taking them here (Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Glinka, Dostoyevsky, Petipa, and other figures who need no introduction) and the quality of the artefacts, especially the headstones and sculptures.

You can visit this necropolis, the most important one in Saint Petersburg, as part of a tour to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery or you can include it as a separate item in the program.
