The house on Bolshoy Nikolopeskovsky Lane was built in the 19th century and acquired its current appearance in the early 20th century thanks to the reconstruction carried out by architect F.F. Voskresensky. At that time, the estate was owned by A.A. Grushka, a professor of philology at Moscow University.

In 1912, the famous composer and pianist A.N. Scriabin moved into the second floor of this house with his wife T.F. Shletser-Scriabin and their children: Ariadne, Julian, and Marina.

Scriabin's apartment quickly became a center of cultural and musical life in Moscow. Home concerts were often held here, and among the guests were such celebrities as S.V. Rachmaninoff, S.I. Taneyev, the Gnessin sisters, K.D. Balmont, Y.K. Baltrushaitis, Vyach. Ivanov, N.A. Berdyaev, L.O. Pasternak, N.V. Shperling, A.Ya. Tairov, Alisa Koonen, and many others.

These years were particularly productive for Scriabin. In this apartment, he created his last works, including the legendary poem "Prometheus," which was performed using light effects and became the first color-music work in world culture. During this period, he also actively concertized and worked on the grand "Mystery," conceived as a synthesis of all forms of art: music, choreography, poetry, painting, architecture, as well as color, light, and scents.

However, the work on the "Mystery" was not completed. After Scriabin's sudden death from blood poisoning in April 1915, only 55 musical sketches of the "Preliminary Action" for the "Mystery" remained. The poetic text of the "Preliminary Action" was fully completed and published in 1919.

After the composer's death, his family continued to live in the apartment, carefully preserving his legacy. Close friends and members of the Scriabin Society took on the obligation to pay the rent for the apartment on the condition that it would be available as a museum of the composer during certain hours. In August 1918, T.F. Shletser-Scriabin was issued a Protection Certificate by the People's Commissar of Education A.V. Lunacharsky, and on October 10 of the same year, the apartment officially became a museum. In 1922, after all preparatory work was completed, the museum welcomed its first visitors.

Today, the A.N. Scriabin Memorial Museum, one of the oldest in Moscow, preserves the authentic environment of the composer's last years, his personal belongings, books, furniture, gifts, as well as the famous C. Bechstein piano, gifted in 1912. This piano continues to be played on the composer's birthday and memorial day.

The house where Scriabin lived and died in 1915 has the status of a cultural heritage site of federal significance.
