House of Scientists
House of Scientists, Scientific society palace on Dvortsovaya Embankment, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The House of Scientists occupies a Renaissance-style building with numerous halls decorated in different architectural styles, including Rococo, Gothic, and Byzantine elements.
Following its 1920 establishment under Maxim Gorky's initiative, the palace transformed from Vladimir Alexandrovich's residence into a center for academic activities.
The palace contains 350 rooms across three buildings, featuring scientific sections where researchers conduct meetings, lectures, and intellectual discussions throughout the year.
The House of Scientists welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 21:30, with guided tours available through advance reservations.
During the siege of Leningrad in 1942, the palace maintained operations and established a 50-bed medical facility for people suffering from dystrophy.
