About
The Mikhail Bulgakov Museum sits in Kyiv, Ukraine, at Andriyivskyy Descent 13, on the steep historic street that climbs from the Podil district. It is also known as the Bulgakov House Museum, and it is a literary museum dedicated to the Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov, who lived in the city.
What you will see
The museum occupies the former apartment building where Bulgakov lived. Its displays focus on his life and his works, and they include personal belongings, manuscripts, and exhibits that trace the places and experiences connected with him. The building itself is part of the visit, since the rooms are the setting in which his story is told.
Who it suits
- Readers who know Bulgakov's novels and want to see the world that shaped them.
- Visitors interested in Russian-language literature and its links with Kyiv.
- Anyone walking the Andriyivskyy Descent, a street known for its old buildings, craft stalls and views over the city.
A visit suits a relaxed pace. Allow time to read the exhibits slowly rather than rushing through the rooms, especially if you come to the museum with a prior interest in the writer.
Planning your visit
Because the museum is set in a residential building on a sloping street, it is easy to combine with a walk through the surrounding area. If you would like to confirm arrangements before you go, you can call the museum on +380 44 425 3188.
