The Mayakovsky Museum in Moscow, on the Lubyanka

The State Museum of VV Mayakovsky is in Moscow, on the Lubyanka. It is dedicated to the life and work of the poet. But its design has absolutely nothing to do with the standard museum canons, because it was created by outstanding artists, architects and script writers of the twentieth century.

Room Description

The Mayakovsky Museum is designed in the language of metaphors and associations. The attempt to create a classical literary room dedicated to the poet, was not crowned with success. But the second, non-standard version of the design, fell to the visitors to taste.

Expositions that are now in its walls are devoted not only to Vladimir Vladimirovich, but to all those who come to the museum of Mayakovsky. And this was done specifically so that every visitor could think about the fate of the poet, as well as how to treat the great talents, the geniuses of our literature and culture.

Unusual doors, similar to ribs, will open the entrance not only to the space of an unusual museum, but also to the secrets of the biography, the soul and the inner world of one of the most brilliant poets of the early twentieth century.

Fans and opponents of the museum

Complex, ambiguous and multidimensional. Such qualities of Vladimir Vladimirovich are consonant with his work. The Museum of Mayakovsky is attended by both loyal fans and ardent opponents who compare it to the theater.

But the bright presentation of information does not deprive it of a scientific basis. And the tour begins quite traditionally. Since the birth of the birth of Mayakovsky as a citizen, and already at the very end - the emergence of the personality of the poet.

Excursion in childhood

Vladimir Vladimirovich was born on the nineteenth day of July one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three. And in this museum there is even an improvised interior of the house of the Mayakovsky family. Table, chairs by the number of family members. All these things have something to do with the poet. Even the stones were specially brought from Bagdadi. This is the very village where the future genius was born.

There are photographs of the family, where everything is assembled, the service records of Vladimir's father, who held a high post and was a nobleman. Images of Mayakovsky's mother in a strict black dress. But in fact, this woman was very kind and affectionate. The poet had a very happy and cloudless childhood. Mom always surrounded him with care, forgave him many pranks.

Vladimir Vladimirovich constantly invented a variety of games. One of them was fun, during which he hid himself in a huge earthen pitcher, the size of a man's height, and read poetry from there. He did it because from there the voice sounded louder and more mature, and next he put his sister Olga, who forced all this to listen. It is such a vessel made of clay and is in one of the compositions of the museum.

Revolution and years of study

Mayakovsky had a magnificent memory. All the stories and poems that his mother read to him, he memorized by heart. Yes, and the independent poet, the future poet learned very early.

The Mayakovsky Museum in Moscow has a huge number of archival documents belonging to Vladimir. Among them there is a certificate with not very good marks, since the training period was exactly for the years of the revolution. And Mayakovsky's active nature could not be given up to training calmly, while the people fought for independence.

Good grades remain only in drawing, and at the end of the school the poet enters the school of painting, sculpture and architecture. The Mayakovsky Museum on Lubyanka carefully preserves one of the first works of Vladimir, made according to the classical canons of painting. And also there is a whole series of drawings in which various emotional states of the poet are displayed.

Soon Mayakovsky joins the club of futurists, the creators of the new art in all its manifestations. His first work is published in a collection entitled "Slap in the face of public taste," it is called "Night". And after a year he released the first book of his own poems under the modest name "I".

Another exhibit, filled with metaphorical meaning

Mayakovsky's house museum still keeps memories of those times when friends, girls, colleagues came to Vladimir Vladimirovich and, going through the front door, climbed the stairs to the fourth floor, to apartment number twelve.

And it is these steps that can be confidently called one of the most important exhibits of the metaphorical museum. A symbol of the poet's immortality, his road to eternity. Near the stairs is a space filled with unusual designs, recreating the model of time and peace of Vladimir Vladimirovich. They were conceived as a life labyrinth, the heart of which is the poet's memorial room.

Favorite apartments of Vladimir

The Mayakovsky Museum in Moscow presents an apartment just over eleven squares. Even the poet living in it, compared himself with glasses, squeezed into a case. Since with the growth of almost two meters to be in such a room was, of course, not very comfortable.

However, he was very affectionate towards his home. Even when in nineteen twenty-seven, Vladimir gets a four-room apartment, the poet leaves this room behind him. It was his office. Here he liked to gather with his friends and acquaintances, who often read the created works.

The Mayakovsky Museum in Lubyanka has many exhibits reminiscent of the fact that Vladimir was an avid traveler. He visited many countries, but his most favorite place was Paris. In the same place, he falls madly and passionately into the Russian emigrant Tatyana Yakovlev.

But even more, he adores wandering around his own country. The Mayakovsky Museum stores the authentic posters of those years, decorated by Vladimir, photographs of the poet and a collection of notes from the public, collected by himself. The questions of listeners are arranged according to dates and topics, and many of them even have a very rude character. The author was very hard not to understand the public.

Vladimir Vladimirovich today is a huge number of publications in numerous languages, a lot of monuments, streets, squares, named after him. And the Mayakovsky Museum is an attempt to show the spiritual tragedy of this outstanding personality.
