The museum was founded in 1943 on the basis of the holdings of the N.G. Rubinstein Memorial Museum (Memorial'nyi muzei N.G. Rubinshteina) (1912), which was part of the Moscow Conservatory (see E–68), and until 1964 the museum remained housed in the Conservatory complex. The museum was given the name of the Russian composer M.I. Glinka in 1954. In 1985 it moved to a new contemporary building specially constructed for the museum. In January 1995 the museum was added to the federal register of the most valuable monuments of the cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation. When the museum opened, most of the manuscript materials were stored in the library of the Moscow Conservatory, but during the 1960s they were transferred to the museum when it moved out of the Conservatory. The museum has six affiliated branches, the first two of which retain important archival materials: (1) The A.B. Gol'denveizer Apartment-Museum (Muzei-kvartira A.B. Gol'denveizera), founded in 1955 as a first branch of the Glinka Central Museum of Musical Culture and as a repository for the many culturally valuable items collected by the celebrated pianist and composer, Aleksandr Borisovich Gol'denveizer (1875–1961) (103009, Moscow, ul.

The museum houses considerable documentation, including photographs of, and drawings by, Chaliapin, and playbills of operas in which he sang.
