The exhibition is dedicated to the fate of the first woman on the Russian throne and the era in which new state orientations were formed. The exhibition is organized chronologically and sequentially guides visitors through the key stages of Catherine I's life-from early trials to the time of her independent rule. The journey includes military events, court life, and pivotal moments that changed her position in society. Special attention is given to the period of transformations when previously initiated reforms continued. During this time, scientific institutions developed, the state system strengthened, and new symbols of power were formed. The halls feature portraits, fabrics, jewelry, coins, and household items that create an image of the era. Among them are rare exhibits related to ceremonies and important state events. Other exhibitions in St. Petersburg can be found on KUDAGO.
