Lonely Planet review for Menshikov Palace

Another branch of the Hermitage is in the riverside Menshikov Palace, built in 1707 for Alexander Menshikov, a close friend (many now say lover) of Peter the Great. Menshikov effectively ran Russia from here for three years between Peter’s death and his own exile. The palace’s impressively restored interiors are filled with period art and furniture. Fact sheets in English on each of the rooms are available.
