Day 3

Duration: 10:00-18:00

1. The Tsarskoye Selo palace and park ensemble (the Tsarskoye Selo State Museum-Preserve) is a superb monument of world-ranking architecture and garden-and-park design dating from the eighteenth to early twentieth centuries. A whole constellation of outstanding architects, sculptors and painters made the ideas of their crowned clients a reality here. Tsarskoye Selo is a cluster of very fine examples of Baroque and Classical architecture and it was also the first place in the Russian capital where interiors decorated in the Moderne (Art Nouveau) style appeared.

The compositional centre of the ensemble is the Great Tsarskoye Selo or Catherine palace, a splendid example of the Russian Baroque. Visitors are enraptured by the sumptuous décor of the Great Hall and the Golden Enfilade of state rooms that includes the world-famous Amber Room now returned to life.

2.The Pavlovsk Palace

Despite being a lesser known royal residence, is, in fact, very charming and attractive. The Emperor Paul I had his private estate built as a welcoming and atmospheric place, full of love and family warmth. It did not suffer too much damage during the World War II. The palace houses a truly remarkable collection of eighteenth-century objects and furniture and is surrounded by an English-style scenery park of 600 hectares which still amazes its visitors with both grandeur and picturesque views.

3.The Russian Museum

The museum possesses a vast collection of Russian art: more than 400,000 exhibits from the thirteenth century orthodox icons to the Soviet avant-garde. A visit there is an excellent way to reveal the origins of Russian culture and maybe solve the mystery of Russian soul while also finding answers to some curious questions : Why do Russians go swimming in winter? How is the famous Butter Week celebrated? Why did the ballet become fashionable?

We will also see the largest canvas ever painted by Russian artists, admire the beauty of the folk costumes, discover the reasons behind the fall of the communism. We can also try and answer another question: was it a nightmare or the best time where the Soviet people were the happiest?
