On May 18th 2007 in Moscow the newly-renovated Tchaikovsky
apartment at Kudrinskaia Square 46/54 was opened to the public, now in
the ownership of the M. I. Glinka Museum of Musical Culture. This
modest, small one-room apartment rented by Tchaikovsky in 1872–1873
has been extended into nine rooms and the whole house was
transformed into large museum devoted to 'Tchaikovsky and Moscow'.
Most of the exhibits are dedicated to the composer's relations with
the Moscow Conservatory and to his personal and professional friends,
up to his departure abroad from the Russian capital in 1878. The page
of the M.I. Glinka museum with detailed information (in Russian) about
this new Moscow attraction, including some photographs, can be found
