Private Apartments of the Winter Palace, Royal residence chambers in Winter Palace, Russia.
The private apartments occupy the western wing of the Winter Palace, featuring personal rooms arranged in two enfilades on the second floor.
During the October Revolution of 1917, revolutionaries entered through the October Staircase to arrest members of the Provisional Government.
Nicholas II and Alexandra modified these rooms to reflect their personal preferences, incorporating English Gothic elements and Art Nouveau designs.
The apartments connect to a private garden beneath the windows, enclosed by high walls with decorative iron-grille railings for security.
The Imperial bedroom contained a shared large bed between white columns, departing from the traditional separate sleeping arrangements of Russian monarchs.
