NIKOLAY GUMILYOV MEMORIAL MUSEUM FLAT
The flat of the famous scientist, geographer, ethnologist
and specialist in Turkic philology Lev Nikolayevich Gumilyov is located
in Kolomenskaya street, 1/15 (on the corner of Kuznechnyy Lane) on the second
floor of a big four-storeyed profitable house. It was the only Gumilyov’s
separate flat where he had lived the last two years of his life – since
1990 till 1992.
Very little has changed here after Gumilyov’s death. The flat bears the
impress of the scientist’s personality up to now.
A visitor of the exposition can listen to the
story about Gumilyov’s intricate and incredibly saturate creative life,
touch his things, look at his books and watch video recordings of his famous
TV lectures.
