При поддержке Фонда Петра Кончаловского в Музее М.А. Булгакова открылась выставка «Дом на Большой Садовой», посвященная более чем вековой истории дома Пигита и его жильцов — знаменитых и не очень, художников и самогонщиков, пролетариев, врачей, писателей и инженеров. Сто одиннадцать лет, 53 квартиры, десятки семей и судеб, связанных с одним домом — все они впервые стали героями музейной экспозиции. Это первый известный нам опыт подобной выставки-исследования в Москве.

Дом, где Михаил Булгаков написал «Белую гвардию», где Сергей Есенин познакомился с Айседорой Дункан. Дом, где Петр Кончаловский написал «Семейный портрет» и десятки других полотен. Куда в гости к Георгию Якулову, в «караван-сарай монпарнасского типа», в который превратилась его мастерская, приходили Маяковский и Таиров, Мариенгоф и Луначарский.
