🖼 Mendeleev Museum and Archive, St Petersburg State University

Санкт-Петербург, Менделеевская линия, 2 (Университетская наб., 7/9)

Mendeleev's memorial apartment and study in the Twelve Collegia building: his desk, archive and the first periodic tables.

Mendeleev lived with his family in this university-owned apartment from 1866 to 1890.
The decision to make a museum was taken by the First Mendeleev Congress in 1907, and it opened on 21 December 1911.
For the scientist's 100th anniversary in 1934, the exhibition was prepared by his son Ivan Mendeleev.
After the war the archive was sorted by the scientist's youngest daughter, Maria Mendeleeva-Kuzmina.
In 2019 the European Physical Society included the museum in its list of "EPS Historic Sites".
