Description
The museum-workshop of Sergei Konyonkov is located in the apartment of house No. 17 on Tverskaya Street , into which the sculptor entered in 1947. The building was designed by architect Arkady Mordvin in 1940 for the creative intelligentsia . The playwright Grigory Gorin , the pilot Alexander Gorgolyuk , and the musician Alexander Goldenweiser also lived in this house. In memory of Sergei Konyonkov, a memorial plaque was installed on the house [2] [3] [4] . The museum was opened in 1974, on the centenary of the sculptor [5] .
Museum Exposition
The museum premises are divided into two parts: the workshop in which Konenkov worked, and memorial rooms: a bedroom, an office, a hall and a living room. The apartment managed to preserve the lifetime interior designed by Konenkov. The museum collection contains more than five thousand exhibits. The exposition consists of sculptures, books, photographs [1] [2] [6] [7] .
The lobby on the second floor is painted blue. It has a plaster self-portrait created by Konenkov for his 80th birthday. Nearby is the bust of his wife Margarita Konenkova and the sculpture "Magnolia" - the figures of a naked woman. The room also exhibits furniture created by the master in the 1930s in the USA [8] .
In the hall where the Konenkovs received guests, the walls are decorated with drawings by the owner of the apartment “My Genealogy” depicting the sculptor’s family, and the picture “Paganini” is a full-length image of violinist Niccolo [9] . There is a library in the office: books by Alexander Pushkin , Nikolai Gogol , Leo Tolstoy , Fedor Dostoevsky , Honore de Balzac , Stendhal . It also presents books donated by Sergey Konenkov by writers Leonid Leonov , Sergey Mikhalkov , Peter Vershigora , and artist Evgeni Katsman . In the center of the room is a desk, and by the window lies the death mask of the sculptor, cast in bronze [10] [11] .
The Moscow workshop is a copy of his workshop in New York and is a bright room with five-meter windows. It contains the works of the author of different periods: "Reading Tatar", "Stoneborer", " Samson ", portraits of Johann Bach , Niccolo Paganini, Vladimir Lenin .

Among them, the most famous portrait of Albert Einstein . The workshop presents his plaster cast, and the final portrait in marble is exhibited at the Tretyakov Gallery . In the 1920s, Konenkov created sculptures of the Gospel cycle , of which the Prophet, John, James, and the image of Christ are stored in the workshop [6] . One of Konenkov’s latest works is the unfinished composition “Cosmos”: the central figure represents Cosmic space , and the symbols represent constellations [13] .
