Stroganov Palace Collections

Stroganov Palace Collections, St. Petersburg, Russia

Acquired by the Russian Museum in 1989, this historic building on Nevsky Prospekt is one of St. Petersburg's finest palaces, built by Bartholomeo Rastrelli in the reign of Empress Elizabeth. One of Russia's most prominent families, the Stroganovs not only played an important role in the history of the Russian state, but also in the formation of Russian aristocratic and cultural tastes. The palace is slowly being restored by the Russian Museum to reflect the state of the building in its glory days in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

Alongside an enfilade of fully renovated State Rooms, the Stroganov Palace currently offers visitors permanent exhibitions of historic porcelain from the Gardener Factory, the privately-owned rival of the better-known Imperial Porcelain Factory, a recreation of the Mineral Study of Count Alexander Strogonov, and many other artifacts and works of art with a historic connection to the building. Part of the palace is also used for temporary exhibitions.
