Muzey-Kvartira Sem'i Aktorov Samoylovykh — Attraction in Владимирский округ

This is less a review, than a correction of the listing and the map.

The apartment-museum at Stremyannaya 8 is devoted not to Shostakovich but to the Samoilov family of actors. It is the only one of its kind in St. Petersburg.

The Shostakovich apartment-museum (on the fifth floor) was opened to the public as a private museum in 2006, the year of the 100th anniversary of the composer's birth.

The piano, for example, is not original but is the same make and type as that when Dmitry Shostakovich lived there.
