An excursion to the Kunstkamera. The word "kunstkamera" means "cabinet of curiosities" in German. When Peter the Great first traveled abroad with the "Great Embassy" at the end of the 17th century, he saw that such "cabinets" were in great fashion among European monarchs.

As an inquisitive person, the emperor began to collect his own collection of "monsters and rarities", sparing no expense for this.

All these things later became the basis for the creation of the "sovereign's cabinet", which then turned into the first Russian museum – Kunstkamera, where Peter the Great ordered everyone to be allowed.
