About the exhibition

The state rooms of the first floor of the Stroganov Palace are occupied by the exhibition The Villa of a Russian Patron, a fantasy of an exquisite country house belonging to a collector and patron of the arts. In each room, nearly one hundred paintings, drawings, sculptures and works of decorative and applied arts call forth evocative scenes that bring to life memories of the villas of Antiquity, the mansions of enlightened Russian patrons such as Ivan Shuvalov, Savva Mamontov and Maria Tenisheva, and, of course, the residences of the palace’s owner, Count Alexander Stroganov.
