Klinkster's apartment house was partly rebuilt in 1882 according to the project by architect V. V. von Wirr. The second-floor flat was restored according to archive materials and the reminiscences of the writer’s contemporaries. The memorial part of the exposition includes the hall, the washroom, the drawing-room, Dostoevsky's study, the dining-room, the room of А. G. Dostoevskaya (nee Snitkina), the writer’s wife, and a nursery. Visitors can see Dostoevsky's personal belongings, which for the most part were donated to the museum by his descendants. The literary exposition (renewed in 1996), tells about the life and work of Dostoevsky and includes lifetime editions of his works, books and photographs with the signatures of the writer and his contemporaries, manuscripts, views of Dostoevsky's Petersburg, and book illustrations. The museum annually hosts international conferences on Dostoevsky and his influence on world culture.
