Fabergé museum in Saint Petersburg

Private museum in a historic St. Petersburg palace housing the world's largest collection of Imperial Fabergé Easter eggs.

The Fabergé Museum in Saint Petersburg occupies the magnificent Shuvalov Palace on the banks of the Fontanka River. Founded in 2013 by Viktor Vekselberg's Link of Times Foundation, the museum was created to repatriate Russian cultural treasures sold abroad during the Soviet era. The centrepiece is a collection of nine Imperial Fabergé Easter eggs crafted for Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II — intricate masterworks of gold, enamel, and gemstones. The full collection spans over 4,000 objects including paintings, icons, silverwork, and jewellery. Today it ranks among Russia's most visited private museums.
