On October 14 (26), 1898, the Moscow Public Art Theater, created by K.S. Stanislavsky and V.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko, opened in Moscow with the play "Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich". The troupe of the new theater was formed by the most talented members of the drama circle of the Society of Art and Literature (M.P. Lilina, M.F. Andreeva, V.A. Luzhsky, A.R. Artyom) and Nemirovich-Danchenko's students at the Musical Drama School of the Moscow Philharmonic Society (O.L. Knipper, I.M. Moskvin, V.E. Meyerhold, M.G. Savitskaya, M.O. Roksanova, N.N. Litovtseva). Later, A.L. Vishnevsky, V.I. Kachalov, and L.M. Leonidov became members of the troupe. In a speech addressed to the troupe before the opening of the Moscow Art Theater, Stanislavsky said: "Do not forget that we strive to illuminate the dark life of the poor class, to give them happy, aesthetic moments in the midst of the darkness that enveloped them. We strive to create the first reasonable, moral public theater, and we dedicate our lives to this lofty goal." The main task of the Moscow Art Theater, according to its creators, was to find the stage embodiment of a new drama that was not understood in the old theater. It was planned to appeal to the dramas of Chekhov, Ibsen, Hauptman. Its creators considered the production of Chekhov's The Seagull to be the birth of a new theater. It was in Chekhov's plays that the theatrical system that defined the theater of the 20th century was discovered, new principles of directing, creating a "mood", and a general atmosphere of action were formed. For the first time in the history of world theater, the Moscow Art Theater has confirmed the importance of the director – author of the play, interpreting the play in accordance with the specifics of his creative vision. The provisions of the Stanislavsky system, which became the basis for the education and upbringing of actors all over the world, were laid down and tested for the first time in the Art Theater. For the first four seasons (1898-1902), the Moscow Art Theater rented a small room in the Hermitage Garden. In 1902, through the efforts of the famous Moscow manufacturer and philanthropist Savva Timofeevich Morozov, the building in Kamergersky Lane was rebuilt for the theater. The reconstruction was carried out according to the project of architect Fyodor Osipovich Shekhtel. The grand opening of the new building took place on October 26 (November 8), 1902 with the play "The Burghers" based on the play by M. Gorky. In 1919, the Art Theater became an academic one, and in 1932 it was named after M. Gorky. In 1923, a museum with two branches appeared at the theater: the K.S. Stanislavsky House Museum and the Memorial Apartment of V.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko. Since 1943, there has been a V.I. Nemirovich-Danchenko Studio School. In 1987, the Moscow Art Theater was divided into two independent groups.: under the artistic direction of O.N. Yefremov (since 1989, the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater, the stage in Kamergersky Lane) and T.V. Doronina (the name of the Gorky Moscow Art Theater, the stage on Tverskaya Boulevard, was retained). In 2004, the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater, under the direction of artistic director O.P. Tabakov, returned to its original name – the Moscow Art Theater (Moscow Art Theater), excluding the word Academic from the name.
