With its more than a thousand instruments on display, the Museum of Music pays tribute to the role played by its first owners, the Counts Sheremetev, in the musical life of the city in the 18C. These great sponsors called upon architects Savva Shevakinsky et Fyodor Argunov to build their palace, a magnificent residence decorated with a wrought-iron gate. You can also visit the apartment-museum dedicated to the poetess Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966).
