For all of us, with our memories of fixed phones, and our busy mobiles, this modern museum is both informative and fun. First, you need to make a little effort - come off the Garden Ring through an arch, walk a minute, pass the British phone boxes and the old telephone manhole covers - then press a door buzzer, and there it is, one floor up, a big, bright room overlooking a leafy yard - well worth the effort, and good for an hour easily. Someone has gone to a serious effort to collect a wide range of phones from all eras, and display them clearly, with some even available to handle. Kids will enjoy the option to "dial across the room" but there's something here for everyone. Staff are friendly, even the security guards give hints. Most naturally primarily speak Russian but some will try in English (and no doubt other languages) and there is some bilingual material. There are nice and affordable mementos, and a tiny cafe corner with nice coffee and tea. Surprisingly popular, with sometimes active but cheerful school groups. Recommended!

The first in Russia Mikhail Bulgakov State Museum was founded on the 26th of March, 2007, by the Government of Moscow in apartment number 50 in house nember 10 on Bolshaya Sadovaya street. Thus the writer’s first address – Bolshaya sadovaya street, 10, apartment № 50 — became the first and only Memorial Museum of Mikhail Bulgakov in Moscow. In autumn of 1921 a young writer with his first wife Tatiana Lappa made his first home in Moscow in a small room of a huge communal apartment. Despite everything we succeed in preserving the special atmosphere of this place which became a cross-point of three different epochs of Russian history: pre-revolutionary Russia, the Soviet era and the Post-Soviet reality. It is Bulgakov’s creative work that makes it possible to find out what unites these three epochs and Mikhail Bulgakov Museum hopes to continue this search.
