      • Vladimir Nabokov was born in this house in 1899 and lived here until November 1917.
      • The house came to the family in 1897 as the dowry of the writer's mother, Yelena Rukavishnikova.
      • Nabokov called it “the only house in the world” and never bought real estate afterwards, living in hotels all his life.
      • On 8 November 1904 the drawing room hosted a meeting of the zemstvo congress that adopted constitutional demands; later the Cadet party's Central Committee met here.
      • The museum opened in April 1998 for the writer's centenary and belongs to the Philology Faculty of St Petersburg State University.
      • Among Nabokov's personal things in the museum are index cards, pencils, glasses and a Scrabble game.
