Museums of Russia: Russia’s first representative office of the A. A. Bakhrushin Theatre Museum opened in Ulyanovsk

In Ulyanovsk was opened a museum "House studio of architect F. O. Livchak", which housed the representative office of the A. A. Bakhrushin Theater Museum (Moscow) - the only one in Russia.

The history of the new branch began with the exhibition "Bakhrushin - creator of the Theater Museum. Masterpieces of the theater collection". Metropolitan colleagues brought to Ulyanovsk the exposition, surprisingly organic for this place. Livchak himself and his wife were theater-goers, and they arranged receptions, put home performances. For many years in the building known as the "House of the actor" was placed the Ulyanovsk Branch of Theatre Union of Russia. The opening of a permanent representative office of the Bakhrushin Museum continued theatrical history of the building.

Home studio, a monument of Russian modernism, Simbirsk architect Fyodor Livchak built in 1914 for his family, as well as to advertise his own invention - refractory concrete hollow blocks.

After restoration, completed in 2014, on the first floor in the studio space appeared exhibition "Workshop of F. O. Livchak", allowing the viewer to discover the creative method of the architect.

In the "large living room" are presented objects of decorative art, furniture, costumes. In a residential area on the second floor - an interactive exhibition "Theatrical Life of Simbirsk-Ulyanovsk" and "Cinematograph in Simbirsk", dedicated to the history of the formation of the Simbirsk Theater.
