In 2023, the Peterhof State Museum-Reserve will open 19 exhibitions in 10 regions of Russia. Roman Kovrikov, the acting Director General of the museum, told about this during the presentation of the plan of design and exhibition activities next year.

The first major exhibition will be the mobile project “Romanovs travel” within the framework of the program of the Ministry of Culture of Russia “Big Exhibition”. It is dedicated to the history and everyday culture of imperial trips from Peter I to Nicholas II. The exposition will show the geography of high-level visits, their significance for the state and for the regions of the country, as well as tell about the main transport and communication innovations of those eras. The exhibition will be held in three cities at once: Voronezh, Kazan and Irkutsk. In each place of the exhibition, the exhibition will be complemented by modules that reveal the history of imperial travels in this region.

An equally significant project for the museum will be the joint program “Russia in the Baltic” with the Museum-Reserve “Museum of the World Ocean”. Earlier, during the final session of the Assembly of Petrovsky Museums in St. Petersburg, an agreement on cooperation was signed between the institutions. The list of initiatives of the program includes the organization of the first Museum Regatta. The 3D exhibition “Imperial Yachting. On the meridian of Marley” to the 125th anniversary of the Nevsky yacht port in Peterhof. She will tell about the history of the Imperial naval Nevsky Yacht Club, the predecessor of which is considered to be the Nevsky Funny Fleet of Peter the Great.

The program also includes the exhibition “Geography games – geography games” in Svetlogorsk. The project will tell about the history of the creation of unique maps, which are now considered as monuments of the original art of applied graphics. The exhibits will demonstrate the multinational nature of the Russian Empire in the XVIII – XIX centuries. Another multimedia exhibition is being prepared for launch in the new branch of the Museum of the World Ocean – Bastion “Lithuania”.

Together with the Russian Geographical Society, the museum will open the exhibition “Immersion”. The project will present artifacts of Peter the Great’s time, raised from the bottom of the Baltic Sea by the team of the Society’s Underwater Research Center. More than 400 items from the collection of the palace “Cottage” will be presented for the first time outside the walls of Peterhof. Works of fine and decorative-applied art that characterize the artistic taste of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, the wife of Nicholas I, will be shown at the State Historical Museum at the exhibition “Peterhof. Treasures of the Russian Empress”.

Among the museum’s traveling exhibitions is “To the royal table. Gastronomy of Peter the Great” in Komsomolsk-on-Amur and Velikiye Luki, and “Oh Peterhof, your gardens are fresh!” in Donetsk and Lugansk, which will present a variety of architectural monuments, landscape gardening and the fountain system of Peterhof in the historical space. Russian Russian Museum “Peterhof” will also take part in the projects “Legendary Relics of the Armory” in the Museums of the Moscow Kremlin, “The First Poetry: the History of Russian Ballet” and “Russian Imperial Guards Cavalry” in the St. Petersburg Manege, as well as “Mihai Zichi.
