One of the gems of the Russian National Museum of Music is the apartment museum dedicated to the great conductor, pianist, and composer Nikolai Semyonovich Golovanov. The museum opened its doors in 1969.
The house in Bryusov Lane with numerous commemorative plaques is of special value and significance. Built in 1935 for the artists of the Bolshoi Theater, it was in part Golovanov’s brainchild. The conductor confessed that he had dedicated five years of his life to that house, being the chairman and manager of the cooperative. According to Nikolai Semyonovich, the house accommodated the whole of the Moscow vocal elite: Antonina Nezhdanova, Nadezhda Obukhova, Ivan Kozlovsky, Alexander Pirogov, Glafira Zhukovskaya, Maria Maksakova, Mark Reizen, Yelena Katulskaya, and Nikandr Khanayev. As of now, the house in Bryusov Lane is a cultural monument.
Nikolai Semyonovich Golovanov spent almost 20 years in this apartment. It was during those years that he was the chief conductor of the Symphony Orchestra of the All-Union Radio (since 1937) and the Bolshoi Theater (since 1948).
