An exhibition “1812 in private collections in Moscow and St. Petersburg” was opened in the Alexander Palace-Museum, which is dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the war of 1812. The exposition consists of more than 300 works of decorative and applied arts.

Step 2
The Museum-Reserve is open to visitors every day from 10.00 to 18.00, except Tuesday and the last Wednesday of the month. Competently plan your recreation program in the city on the Neva, because otherwise you will not be able to get into a number of establishments that are closed on certain days.
