Muzei-kvartira A.B. Gol'denveizera—Filial Rossiiskogo natsional'nogo muzeia muzyki (Filial GTsMMK im. M.I. Glinki)


History
The museum was founded in 1955 as a branch of the Glinka Central Museum of Musical Culture (H–94) and as a repository for the many culturally valuable items collected by the celebrated pianist and composer, Aleksandr Borisovich Gol'denveizer (1875–1961), and subsequently donated to the state. The museum was later reorganized as the Division for the History of Piano Art within GTsMMK (Otdel istorii fortepiannogo iskusstva GTsMMK im. M.I. Glinki), but in 1995 its status as an affiliated branch was restored.
