Smirnov's house, Art Nouveau mansion in Presnensky District, Russia
The Smirnov mansion on Tverskoy Boulevard features eight ceremonial halls, marble staircases, and large windows with faceted glass reflecting rainbow colors.
Built between 1901 and 1905 by architect Fyodor Shekhtel, the mansion served as a residence for vodka magnate Pyotr Smirnov until his death in 1910.
Each reception hall displays different architectural styles, including Roman, Egyptian, Greek, and Classical designs, forming an educational journey through art history.
The mansion currently hosts weddings, corporate events, conferences, and guided tours, while part of the building houses the Moscow Pension Fund offices.
The ceiling in the pink drawing room contains hidden electric bulbs integrated into stucco moldings shaped like opening flower buds.
