It is a must-see museum to visit. It captures the atmosphere of the darkest years of the Great Purges. The Akhmatova's museum is on the upper floor. On the floor there is a Joseph Brodsky cabinet-museum. I spent some time with the cats on the first floor.

This jewel of a museum, hidden inside the Artistic Industrial Academy, is worth a visit both for the magnificent building that houses it and for its treasure trove of glass, ceramics, furniture and other fine arts and antiques.
A true must! It reminded me of a miniature version of the V&A. I stopped by on a Saturday at around 1pm only to find out that the only way to visit the museum is via a guided tour. Fortunately a group was convening in the hall of the main lobby so I was able to join right in the nick of time. But beware the tour is in Russian, and lasts a good two hours. Had plenty of time to take photographs and take in the very beautiful rooms. Our guide opened up a variety of cabinets and secret rooms which are typically kept under lock and key. My suggestion is to call in advance and to find out when the daily tour takes place, and if there is an English speaking one. Even if there isn’t, you can still enjoy this gem of a museum and just read up on the collector-Stieglitz-and his exquisite and rare collection. Interestingly the guide didn’t tell us much about who he was, or mention his execution by the Bolsheviks. The museum was used during the Blockade to train future art restorators, in view of news filtering in about extensive damage to palaces outside the city (Peterhof, Pavlovsk, Gatchina). Many of its graduates took part in the post war restoration of the city’s destroyed palaces.

CLOSED FOR RENOVATION. The museum tells about the life of the city during the 900-day siege in 1941-44b.
This Museum is a must to understand and learn what happened to the people in Leningrad during the German assault on the city.It was very sobering and the Guide very good in explaining.
