Fabergé museum in Saint Petersburg, Private jewelry museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Fabergé Museum in Saint Petersburg holds more than 4,000 jewelry pieces and decorative objects inside the restored Naryshkin-Shuvalov Palace along the Fontanka River embankment. The rooms spread across several floors and display, alongside the famous Easter eggs, cigarette cases, clocks and miniatures from Fabergé's workshop.
Viktor Vekselberg founded the museum in 2013 after acquiring the collection from Malcolm Forbes to bring Russian artworks back to Russia. The Naryshkin-Shuvalov Palace itself dates from the late 19th century and was extensively restored specifically for the exhibition.
The museum takes its name from Carl Fabergé, whose workshop produced the famous Easter eggs for the Tsars and shaped the image of Russian goldsmithing worldwide. Visitors can observe how the techniques of imperial jewelers appear in the smallest details, from hidden hinges to enameled surfaces.
The museum opens daily from 10 AM until shortly before 9 PM, with ticket sales ending about half an hour before closing. A shop inside the building offers replicas and souvenirs for visitors who want to take something from the exhibition home.
The Blue Room displays fifteen Easter eggs, including the first Hen Egg from 1885 and the Coronation Egg from 1897, each hiding mechanical surprises inside. Some eggs contain tiny carriages, miniatures or moving figures that only become visible when opened.
