Brodsky's Cabinet in the Fountain House

Anna Akhmatova Museum, Fountain House, 53 Liteiny Prospect, St. Petersburg, Russia

Description:

Probably, the main fact about this attraction - the famous poet Joseph Brodsky was not in the "cabinet" never.

The exposition "American Cabinet of Brodsky", located in the Fountain House of St. Petersburg - a recreated copy of the last apartment of the poet. Things that were in Brodsky’s office were transported from America in 2015. In the possession of the museum, the favorite things were transferred by Brodsky’s widow, Maria Sozzani.

Among the items you can find a bust of the great Alexander Pushkin, many memorable photos from his personal archive, an old suitcase and even a garbage can in the form of Coca-Cola.

In the Fountain House itself there is a museum dedicated to another poet – Anna Akhmatova. Brodsky was familiar with Akhmatova, their characters largely echoed. Therefore, it was decided to move Brodsky’s last apartment here.

You can find a museum in St. Petersburg at Liteiny Prospekt, 53.
