The memorial apartment of one of Russia's most renowned writers is just one block away from Vladimirskaya metro. Dostoyevsky lived here from 1878 to 1881. It was his last apartment in St Petersburg, and is full of memorabilia relating to his life and work. Dostoyevsky wrote a lot about St Petersburg, setting the action of most of his novels here. The city felt obliged to commemorate his name, so in the spring of 1997 a monument to Fiodor Dostoyevsky was unveiled near the Vladimirskaya metro station.

The museums also holds exhibitions of modern art.

How to get there? Upon exiting the Vladimirskaya metro turn right and walk for one block. The museum is on the corner of the next street.
