On display are artifacts from the life of the writer Andrei Bely (1880-1934), considered to be one of the great Russian Symbolists and most famous for his novel Petersburg. The "Lines of Life" drawing on the wall of the first room shows the "energy" of Bely's life (the blue line in the middle) marked by dates and names of people he knew during specific times. The keepers of the museum offer exhaustive tours of the apartment in Russian. The general entrance to the museum is through the souvenir shop.
