Bulgakov House & Theatre


This little cultural centre occupies the ground floor of the building where novelist Mikhail Bulgakov resided. The author lived in a communal flat, no 50, which now houses the Mikhail Bulgakov Museum. After your museum visit, it's worth stopping by here to see the atmospheric cafe and check out the cultural offerings and a few additional exhibits.
