This is one of St. Petersburg’s best-kept secrets! The Applied Art Museum is little known and rarely included in a tourist routine. Yet the museum is a real treasure for anyone interested in the fine arts. Its collection of over 30 thousand exhibits includes various decorative arts and crafts, including furniture, porcelain, and carvings. As with most Russian museums, all visitors are asked to leave coats and larger bags in the cloakroom. Don’t be surprised to see dozens of students throughout the museum, busy sketching (画素描) the museum’s exhibits as well as the building.
