In April 2007 the Nabokov Museum celebrates Valdimir Nabokov's birthday with the traditional Nabokov Readings which is actually an annual festival including various events.

The year 2007 is special for many reasons. It's thirty years since the death of Vladimir Nabokov in 1977. Also, it's the year of several anniversaries. The year 1937 saw the publication of "The Gift", VN's Russian masterpiece. In 1947 "Bend Sinister" was published, in 1957 it was "Pnin", in 1967 - "Speak, Memory".

Besides, it's the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Nabokov Museum!

Our April program includes:

April 10 - opening of the new acquisitions exhibition of the Batovo photo album.

April 22 - A trip to Vyra and Rozhdestveno.
