Mikhailovsky Palace was built from 1819 to 1825 for Grand Duke Mikhail Pavlovich. In 1895, the Russian Museum was established in the building. The lecture will tell about the history of this architectural masterpiece. The idea of constructing a grand ducal residence for Mikhail Pavlovich belonged to his father, Paul I. Funds began to be set aside as early as 1798, and the construction of the palace started in 1819, already under Alexander I. The architect chosen was Karl Rossi. On August 30 (September 11) 1825, the building was solemnly consecrated. In 1895, Nicholas II established the Russian Museum of Emperor Alexander III in the palace. Where to go in St. Petersburg will be told by KUDAGO.
