ArcheoBiblioBase: Archives in Russia: H-70Last update of repository: 17 March 2020Gosudarstvennyi muzei V.V. Maiakovskogo (GMM)Previous names
The museum was founded in 1937 as the Maiakovskii State Library-Museum in the house near Taganka Square, where the Soviet Russian poet Vladimir Vladimirovich Maiakovskii (1893–1930) lived for most of the time from 1926 to 1930. (That street was before 1936 known as Gendrikov pereulok, was in that year renamed, per. Maiakovskogo, 15/13). In 1967 the museum holdings were transferred to the building on what is now Lubianskii proezd (formerly proezd Serova), which had previously housed the poet’s memorial apartment, and which from 1919 to the end of his life had been Maiakovskii’s permanent residence in Moscow. The original home of the museum on Taganka was initially retained as a museum (formally a branch), but is now no longer part of the museum. In 1974 the renamed Maiakovskii State Museum was opened in its new home. In 1969 the museum was reorganized into sectors, including the now separate Manuscript-Documentary Fond, although the sector containing the Maiakovskii family archives was not formed until 1976. The photograph and pictorial fond was formed as a separate subdivision in 1968, and in 1990, it was divided into two separate fonds. The museum has a branch in the Maiakovskii family apartment, which is not presently open as a museum, but which houses the library and family archive sector. (123376, Moscow, Studenetskii per., 22; tel. +7 499 255-01-86). N.B. A major part of the Maiakovskii papers are held in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RGALI—B–7) and some are found in other repositories (see h–607). |
