Holdings

Total: statistics not available

While the holdings of the earlier N.G. Rubinstein (Rubinshtein) Museum (1912–1943) under the Conservatory now all form part of the M.I. Glinka Central Museum of Musical Culture, the newly opened N.G. Rubinstein Museum has established exhibits reflecting the history of the Conservatory on the premises of the Conservatory itself. In addition to portraits, sculpture, musical instruments, and other exhibits (accessible during concerts and at other times by appointment), the museum has collected some important archival materials. Of particular note are collections of photographs, posters, and concert programs, most of which have been presented as gifts to the museum by well-known musicians and their heirs.


History:
Museum named in honor of N.G. Rubinstein (Rubinshtein) was opened under the Conservatory in 1912 and during the subsequent half century gathered a remarkable collection of manuscript music scores, archives, musical instruments, and other materials. During World War II the museum served as the basis for the newly organized Central Museum of Musical Culture, founded in 1943, and which in 1954 was renamed in honor of M.I. Glinka. The museum remained in the Conservatory complex until 1964, when its move to a new location left the Conservatory without its own museum. A new N.G. Rubinstein Museum was opened in the Conservatory in 1995.
