N. Zhiganov`s museum - apartment
In a solemn and exciting atmosphere, passed the opening of Nazib Zhiganov's memorial museum - apartment in house N 14 on Malaya Krasnaya Street, where the composer lived with his family from 1971 till 1988. Living in that apartment, he wrote fifteen symphonies, and also many other famous compositions.
From this apartment Nazib Gayazovich went on his last business trip to Ufa where the premiere of his opera "Jalil" was to be held.
The exposition of the museum occupies two rooms - the study-room of the composer and the drawing room where the settings and conditions are kept completely the same with the ones, when the composer lived there. On the desk, one can see the partite of his last Seventeenth Symphony, magazines and books to which he referred while he was working at it, and also the letters that Nazib Gayazovich received from all over the country.
At present, the small area of the museum does not allow to present N. Zhiganov's many-sided creative and general work in the way he deserves that. This could be done by means of the richest archive of the composer including, in addition to his musical compositions, his epistolary heritage, books, photo and recording library.) Nina Ilyainishna - Nazib Gayazovich's widow and the director of the museum - apartment carefully keeps everything.
