Menshikov Palace, Baroque palace on Universitetskaya Embankment, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Menshikov Palace features three floors of stone construction with marble interiors and elaborate Dutch tile decorations throughout its rooms.
Alexander Menshikov, the first governor of Saint Petersburg, commissioned this palace in 1710 as his residence until his exile to Siberia in 1727.
The palace exhibits European and Russian applied art collections from the early 18th century, including furniture, paintings, sculptures, and personal artifacts.
The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours until 8:00 PM on Wednesdays and Fridays, offering guided tours in multiple languages.
