The museum dedicated to the author of Notes from the Underground dips into the basement, then leads you all the way up. The main attraction here is Dostoevsky’s apartment, where he lived with his young, dutiful wife Anya Snitkina and their four children. Luckily for Anglophones, every room is accompanied by a laminated page explaining the items and function of the space, including Dostoevsky’s personal study, the family kitchen and Anya’s office. A side exhibit in a darkened room displays biographical photos, personal paraphernalia and published books – there aren’t any notes to be found here, though, so it’s good to know your Fyodor Fast Facts in advance.
