    Walking tour "Suppliers of His Imperial Majesty's Court" in a comfort group.

    To receive a badge of distinction and become a Supplier to the Court of his Imperial Majesty was the dream of any conscientious manufacturer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It wasn't that easy, and many people have been striving for this title for years. You will find a fascinating history of the formation of the most famous trade and industrial names and the history of their enterprises in Russia.: The Eliseevs, Abrikosovs, Kuznetsovs, Faberge, Singer, Smirnov, etc. And each of them not only maintained the quality of goods at a high level, but also applied new technologies for the production and marketing of goods.

    We will visit the famous Yeliseyev merchants store, which to this day combines a multifaceted concept — it is not only a grocery store, but also restaurants, a theater and a formal living room for formal receptions.

    13:00 Excursion to the magnificent Faberge Jewelry Museum, located in the Shuvalov Palace.

    Following the principle of the great master, the modest facades of the Shuvalov Palace hide the real wonders of jewelry art.
