The museum was reorganized in 1991 in the Smol'nyi Institute and includes under its administration four memorial apartments occupied by Vladimir Il'ich Lenin (Ul'ianov, 1870–1924) in St. Petersburg. The first predecessor of the present museum opened in the apartment in the Smol'nyi Institute where Lenin and Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaia lived from October 1917 through March 1918, to which in 1974 was added the working office of Lenin. Before 1917 the building had been used for the Smol'nyi Institute, a school for daughters of the nobility. The Smol'nyi museum earlier constituted the Leningrad Branch of the Central Museum of V.I. Lenina (Leningradskii filial Tsentral'nogo muzeia V.I. Lenina) (1937–February, 1992), but was reorganized in 1991. In 1992 the present museum accessioned part of the fonds and the library of the former Leningrad Branch of the Central Lenin Museum. Two branches under the museum in other Lenin apartments are now used for temporary exhibits: (1) Apartment-Museum of the Elizarovs (Muzei-kvartira Elizarovykh na ul. Shirokoi [Lenina]), which had been a museum since 1927 associated with the family of Lenin’s brother-in-law Mark T. Elizarov. (197136, St. Petersburg, ul.

(2) Apartment-Museum of the Alliluevs (Muzei-kvartira Alliluevykh), opened as a museum in 1938, which was principally associated with the Communist activist Sergei Iakovlevich Alliluev, and where Lenin had stayed during 7–9 July 1917.
