Muzei A.M. Gor'kogo


History
The Gor'kii Archive and Gor'kii Museum were established in 1937, the year after Gor'kii’s death, and were officially designated to consolidate all of the literary manuscript materials, personal papers, and memorabilia of and relating to Gor'kii. The Gor'kii Museum, a division of IMLI (E–8) has two parts and includes the extensive Photograph Archive (Fotofond). The literary exhibitions are housed in the main IMLI building, while the A.M. Gor'kii Memorial Apartment-Museum, which opened in 1965 in the nearby building where Gor'kii lived during the last five years of his life (1931–1936), houses additional exhibitions and features Gor'kii’s personal library (ul. Malaia Nikitskaia [formerly Kachalova], 6/2).
