Sheremetiev Palace, Baroque palace on Fontanka River in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The yellow and white Sheremetiev Palace extends along the Fontanka River embankment, protected by an ornamental wrought iron fence from 1838.
Peter the Great granted the land to Field Marshal Boris Sheremetev in 1712, leading to the construction of this palace in the 1730s.
The palace contains Russia's largest collection of musical instruments and includes the Anna Akhmatova Memorial Museum in its southern wing.
The State Museum of Theatre and Musical Art occupies the palace, offering daily tours with audio guides in multiple languages.
The palace grounds included a theater where serf performers presented productions for Saint Petersburg's highest society members.
