Anna Akhmatova Museum at Fountain House Admission Ticket

Anna Akhmatova is acclaimed in St. Petersburg not simply as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century but also as the foremost chronicler of the suffering and hardship endured by the city during the Stalinist Terror and the Second World War. For this reason, her former apartment in part of the Sheremetev Palace on the Fontanka Embankment is held in particular reverence, and houses one of the most emotionally moving museums in St. Petersburg.
Anna Akhmatova Museum also displays thematic installations which trace Akhmatova's life featuring photographs, artwork, sculpture, and original manuscripts. While exploring, you can also visit the areas dedicated to Akhmatova's son, the controversial historian Lev Gumiliev, and to Joseph Brodsky.
