🖼 Bulgakov Museum (the "Bad Apartment")

Б. Садовая ул., 10

The Art Nouveau Pigit apartment building where Bulgakov lived in 1921–1924 and from which he "moved" Woland and his retinue into the novel.

The apartment building was built in 1902–1903 for the tobacco manufacturer Ilya Pigit, owner of the Dukat factory.
Bulgakov lived here from 1921 to 1924, at first in Apartment No. 50, which became the "bad apartment" of The Master and Margarita.
In the novel the building is called "302-bis Sadovaya".
In autumn 1921, in the studio of the artist Georgy Yakulov in this building, Yesenin met Isadora Duncan.
The artist Pyotr Konchalovsky also had a studio in the building.
Two museums operate in the stairwell: the state museum in Apartment No. 50 and the private Bulgakov House on the ground floor.
For years the stairwell walls were covered with inscriptions and drawings by fans of the novel.
