STIEGLITZ MUSEUM

The museum was founded at the Central School of Industrial Design in 1876 by industrialist Baron Aleksandr Stieglitz. His son in law continued the collection. The building was designed by Maximilian Messmacher. It is now a branch of the Hermitage. Not only the exhibits but also the building itself is a marvel worth a visit. It is between the Engineer Palace and the Preobrazhenski Regiment Cathedral.
