Memorial Museum-Apartment of Academician I.P. Pavlov of the Institute of Physiology named after I.P. Pavlov RAS

The whole creative life of Ivan Petrovich Pavlov is connected with St. Petersburg. For the last eighteen years he lived on Vasilievsky Island in an academic house on the 7th line. This building, founded by order of Peter I, was transferred to the state treasury in 1725 to the newly founded Academy of Sciences. During the next two centuries, many outstanding Russian scientists lived in it - academicians V.V. Petrov, B.S. Jacobi, A.O. Kovalevsky, V.I. Palladin, V.I. Vernadsky, A.E. Fersman, N.Y. Marr and many others, whose names are immortalized on numerous memorial plaques, fortified on the facade of the building.

On the second floor of the house, in apartment 11, which belonged to the Pavlov family, there is now a memorial museum - the only one in this building, which is a unique monument to Russian science.

Three rooms of a spacious six-room apartment, which is a memorial exposition of the museum, have preserved all the details of the decoration to this day. Pavlov’s widow and daughter, who survived the war and blockade here, managed to protect not only furniture, books, paintings, but also those subtle details of the interior that speak so much about the habits and hobbies of the owner of the house.

Completely preserved in its original form, the interiors preserve the memory of the great scientist, and at the same time represent a typical example of an apartment of a St. Petersburg middle-income intellectual of the late XIX - early XX centuries.
