This was possibly the highlight of my visit to St Petersburg. It's quite difficult to find at the back of the Sheremetov Palace, right round the block and through a dingy passageway and a muddy garden - there are no fountains!

This is a moving & interesting exhibit about a wonderful Russian writer, but probably not for the casual tourist. The pre-tour video is a must. More
