Categories / Science. Education/Museums

MUSEUM OF OLD PETERSBURG, founded in October 1907, attached to the Society of Architects and Artists. A. N. Benois, the first director of the museum, was simultaneously at the head of a special commission for studying and describing St. Petersburg with I. A. Fomin, V. A. Pokrovsky, A. F. Gaush, P. P. Weiner, N. N. Vrangel, V. N. Argutinsky-Dolgorukov, N. E. Lansere, V. Y. Kurbatov, and V. A. Shchuko as its members. A major contribution to the establishment and development of the museum was made by architect P. Y. Suzor who granted his own house at 21 Kadetskaya Line and handed over a significant part of his collections to the museum. The collection numbered about 2,300 items in 1916. The museum became a branch of the City Museum in the late 1918. The former Serebryanikov family's house was allocated to accommodate its collections situated at 35 Fontanka River Embankment. The museum was closed in 1935 and succeeded by the Museum of St. Petersburg History.
