More about this excursion

A tour of the Fabergé Museum is not only an acquaintance with jewelry masterpieces, but also an opportunity to glimpse into the world of the last imperial family of Russia. During the tour, you will see the famous Fabergé Easter eggs created for the imperial family and learn why these gifts became true symbols of the era. We will discuss the relationship between Alexander III and Maria Feodorovna, Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna, talk about the family traditions of the Romanovs, the upbringing of children, and life at the court. But the Fabergé Museum is not only about jewelry. It also features luxurious interiors of the Shuvalov Palace, through which you can feel the atmosphere of St. Petersburg in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We will talk about how the aristocracy lived, what the nobility was interested in, what balls, receptions, and everyday life of the imperial entourage looked like. Of course, we will also take a closer look at Fabergé's work. In addition to Easter gifts, we will see jewelry, accessories, and Objets de fantaisie that will surprise you. This tour is suitable for those who want not just to look at the museum, but to see human stories behind the jewelry, feel the atmosphere of a bygone era, and take a fresh look at imperial St. Petersburg.
