10 Museums in Pushkin That You Shouldn't Miss

October 9, 2021 Darleen Reid

Pushkin is a historic estate originally given by Peter the Great to his wife Catherine as a rural getaway. Today, the main attraction is Tsarskoye Selo, a collection of historic palaces, churches and other buildings that make it a World Heritage Site. Highlights include the beautiful Alexander and Catherine Palaces. The town itself was founded in the early 1700s and was the home of the first railroad service in Russia, which still connects it to the capital.

Catherine Palace and Park

Filled with 18th-century paintings and ornate rooms, this white and gold palace is surrounded by a 1400-acre park complete with fountains, bridges, the Agate Pavilion bathhouse and the Great Pond. The Palace also has a famous Amber Room, stolen by Nazi troops during WWII, but now recreated by Russian craftsmen.

The Catherine Palace is named after Catherine I, the wife of Peter the Great. Originally a modest two-storey building commissioned by Peter for Catherine in 1717, the Catherine Palace owes its awesome grandeur to their daughter, Empress Elizabeth, who chose Tsarskoye Selo as her chief summer residence. Starting in 1743, the building was reconstructed by four different architects. The building was to be built to compete with Versailles. The resultant palace, completed in 1756, is nearly 1km in circumference, with elaborately decorated blue-and-white facades featuring gilded atlantes. The interiors of the Catherine Palace are no less spectacular. Another place worth seeing. A beautiful palace and park complex.

Kameronova Gallery Museum

Reviewed By 139marinas - Dublin, Ireland

Love this place, it is so grand and graceful, by architect Cameron. They sometimes have exhibitions inside. But it always surrounded with these antic philosopher's busts. Found one of two great 2 meter monuments is missing, hopefully for restoration. It is a male one, I know that the local navy future officers (from local naval institute) at some last graduation day come to there to polish the , pardon, eggs. which were in different colour than the rest of the monument. It is been restored now.. probably to level the polishness....
