Sheremetev Palace – Museum of Music

The Fountain House is one of St. Petersburg’s most interesting sights, with a history going almost as far back as the city itself. The palace of the noble Sheremetev family, built on a vast plot between the Fontanka River Embankment and Liteyny Prospekt, was known as the Fountain House since the 18th century. Savva Chevakinsky was one of the main architects who worked on the building. It is possible that the design of Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli was used during construction. Over the centuries, a number of eminent architects were employed to work on the interiors of the palace and manor buildings, including Fyodor Argunov, Ivan Starov, Andrey Voronikhin, Giacomo Quarenghi, Christian Meyer, Domenico Quadri, Geronimo Corsini, Nicholas Benois, and Alexey Serebryakov. In the Sheremetev family’s time, the Fountain House was a centre for high society in St. Petersburg, welcoming a host of outstanding musicians as well as cultural and scientific figures. The Sheremetev Palace Choir Chapel, built to accompany worship services in the house church, was famed not only in Russia, but also in Europe.Access by participant badge (advance registration required via the personal web office).

In Russia, studies became widespread only in the late 18th century, due to the reforms of Peter the Great; the development of sciences, arts and culture; and the construction of a new capital. Many new rooms appeared in stone buildings following the Western model, including a special room – the owner’s study for storing rarities and books. Over the years, the look and layout of the study changed rapidly in tandem with changing styles and tastes.Access by participant badge (advance registration required via the personal web office).

The History of a Study, spread out across the halls of the first floor following the restoration of Yelagin Palace, continues a series of interior exhibitions of recent years. Previous exhibitions included Artistic Decoration of Russian Residential Interiors in from the Early 19th to 20th centuries, Karelian Birch in Russia, Decorative Wood Species in Russian Furniture in the 19th Century, Lady in the Interior, and Charm of the Past (2004–2010). Visitors will have the chance to experience a retrospective of furnishings of 19th – early 20th century studies, as well as interior designs at a time when historical styles and Art Nouveau were in fashion. Notably, the Russian word for study – kabinet – has two meanings. It can mean a room for classes or doing business, or denote a piece of furniture. In Russia, studies became widespread only in the late 18th century, due to the reforms of Peter the Great; the development of sciences, arts and culture; and the construction of a new capital. Many new rooms appeared in stone buildings following the Western model, including a special room – the owner’s study for storing rarities and books. Over the years, the look and layout of the study changed rapidly in tandem with changing styles and tastes.Access by participant badge (advance registration required via the personal web office).

Savva Chevakinsky was one of the main architects who worked on the building. It is possible that the design of Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli was used during construction. Over the centuries, a number of eminent architects were employed to work on the interiors of the palace and manor buildings, including Fyodor Argunov, Ivan Starov, Andrey Voronikhin, Giacomo Quarenghi, Christian Meyer, Domenico Quadri, Geronimo Corsini, Nicholas Benois, and Alexey Serebryakov. In the Sheremetev family’s time, the Fountain House was a centre for high society in St. Petersburg, welcoming a host of outstanding musicians as well as cultural and scientific figures.

The History of a Study (exhibition)
Kirov Central Park, Yelagin Island, Yelagin Palace, first floor, 4, Yelagin Ostrov
The History of a Study, spread out across the halls of the first floor following the restoration of Yelagin Palace, continues a series of interior exhibitions of recent years. Previous exhibitions included Artistic Decoration of Russian Residential Interiors in from the Early 19th to 20th centuries, Karelian Birch in Russia, Decorative Wood Species in Russian Furniture in the 19th Century, Lady in the Interior, and Charm of the Past (2004–2010). Visitors will have the chance to experience a retrospective of furnishings of 19th – early 20th century studies, as well as interior designs at a time when historical styles and Art Nouveau were in fashion. Notably, the Russian word for study – kabinet – has two meanings. It can mean a room for classes or doing business, or denote a piece of furniture. In Russia, studies became widespread only in the late 18th century, due to the reforms of Peter the Great; the development of sciences, arts and culture; and the construction of a new capital. Many new rooms appeared in stone buildings following the Western model, including a special room – the owner’s study for storing rarities and books. Over the years, the look and layout of the study changed rapidly in tandem with changing styles and tastes.Access by participant badge (advance registration required via the personal web office).

Over the centuries, a number of eminent architects were employed to work on the interiors of the palace and manor buildings, including Fyodor Argunov, Ivan Starov, Andrey Voronikhin, Giacomo Quarenghi, Christian Meyer, Domenico Quadri, Geronimo Corsini, Nicholas Benois, and Alexey Serebryakov. In the Sheremetev family’s time, the Fountain House was a centre for high society in St. Petersburg, welcoming a host of outstanding musicians as well as cultural and scientific figures.
