Ниеншанц, Archaeological museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Nienscanz Museum displays archaeological findings from settlements that existed before the foundation of Saint Petersburg in 1703.
Archaeologists conducted extensive excavations from 1992 to 2000, uncovering stone foundations and wooden dwelling remnants from the Swedish city of Nien.
The museum exhibits illustrate the daily life and material culture of inhabitants who lived in the Neva River region before Saint Petersburg's establishment.
Located on Angliyskaya Embankment, the museum operated from 2003 to 2008 before its collections transferred to the State Hermitage Museum and Kunstkamera.
The Swedish Princess Victoria selected this museum as one of her primary destinations during her official visit to Saint Petersburg.
