Embark on a virtual journey into the heart of Mikhail Bulgakov’s literary masterpiece, “The Master and Margarita,” with a virtual tour of the very building that inspired some of its most iconic scenes: the Bulgakov House Museum in Moscow. Located on the ground floor of Bolshaya Sadovaya ulitsa no. 10, this seemingly ordinary building holds the echoes of extraordinary tales and the spirit of a literary genius.
From 1921 to 1924, Bulgakov himself resided within these walls, a period that profoundly shaped his experiences and found its way into the fabric of his most celebrated novel. In “The Master and Margarita,” this address transforms into the infamous “Evil Apartment” or “Haunted Flat,” a chaotic and otherworldly space where much of the novel’s fantastical action unfolds.
As you virtually navigate the rooms of the Bulgakov House Museum, you’ll step into a world where reality and the surreal intertwine, much like in Bulgakov’s writing. Explore exhibits dedicated to the writer’s life, his works, and the historical context of Soviet Moscow that served as his backdrop. See photographs, manuscripts, personal belongings, and artwork that bring Bulgakov’s world to life.
