Photo and description

The Vysotsky House on Taganka, or the State Cultural Center-Museum of V.S. Vysotsky, is located in the Nizhny Tagansky deadlock. It is very easy to recognize the building of the museum by the large portrait of Vysotsky that adorns the wall of the museum.

The Vysotsky House on Taganka is not only a museum, but also a cultural and scientific center, whose employees are engaged in the collection, study and storage of materials reflecting the era, where Vladimir Semenovich lived, his work and his life.

After Vysotsky's death, many letters came to the Taganka Theater with requests to create a museum. Some people sent exhibits for the museum. This is how the idea of creating a museum came about. An initiative group was created to collect incoming materials and collect museum funds.

In January 1989, an order was issued by the Council of Ministers of the USSR to create the V.S. Vysotsky Museum. The Executive Committee of the Moscow City Council appointed a directorate for the creation of the museum. The Directorate held a seminar, during which the structure of the future museum was determined. The management of the museum and the Institute of Sociology of the USSR Academy of Sciences conducted a sociological survey. The participants were asked the question: "What should a museum be like?" The results of sociological research showed that the majority would like the museum to be a scientific and cultural center.

In 1987, the Soviet Cultural Foundation began raising funds for the creation of the museum. The fund received funds from citizens, royalties from concerts of artists, fees from holding memorial evenings. Vladimir Vysotsky's mother donated part of the USSR State Prize received by Vysotsky posthumously to the creation of the museum.

In 1988, a board of trustees was created, which included more than twenty people. Most of them are famous people: Chairman - Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences K.V. Chistov, Rector of the Moscow Historical and Archival Institute Yu.N. Afanasyev, Director of the Pushkin Museum im. A.S. Pushkina I.A. Antonova, the parents of Vladimir Vysotsky, as well as the USSR pilot-cosmonaut GM Grechko and many others.

The first action of the created museum was an exhibition dedicated to the tenth anniversary of Vysotsky's death - "Vysotsky in the context of Russian culture." The museum did not yet have its own building, the exhibition was held in the hall of the Culture Fund, and then in the hall at VDNKh. The exhibition was attended by over three thousand people.

The current exposition of the museum was opened in 2000, to the 20th anniversary of the death of Vysotsky. The exposition, housed in three halls, contains over a thousand exhibits. The names of the expositions were given by Vysotsky's poetic lines: “I am all in the light….”, “My own track”. The third room is Vysotsky's office. The exposition is made up of items and materials from Vysotsky's apartment on Malaya Gruzinskaya Street, where he lived in 1975-1980.

The museum has a huge number of original items belonging to Vysotsky. Everywhere in the halls there are poems, drafts, texts of famous and unknown songs, black and white photographs, postcards, letters. The expositions clearly and succinctly present the biography and personality of the poet and actor. A large projector shows excerpts from the play "Hamlet" with the poet in the lead role.
