Walks around Saint-Petersburg#54. Museum of Suvorov.
Let's return to the Tauride Garden in the central part of St. Petersburg. On the opposite side of the garden from the Tauride Palace there is a building State Memorial Museum of the Russian commander, Generalissimo, national hero of Russia Alexander Suvorov.
The place for building the building was allocated by the Guards Preobrazhensky Regiment to part of its parade ground for training the troops. The building was built specifically for the museum designed by the Russian architect Alexander Ivanovich von Gauguin in the style of Russian fortifications. On both sides of the Suvorov emblem, on the facade, two mosaics are placed on the theme "Suvorov's departure for the campaign of 1799" and "Suvorov crossing the Alps".
November 26, 1904 in honor of the 175th anniversary of the birth of the commander Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov, the museum was opened. The opening of the museum was made possible thanks to donations from military and civilians, patrons of art. as well as under the guardianship and active participation of Emperor Nicholas II. The collections of the museum number more than 100,000 exhibits, most of which were donated from private collections and collections. The largest collection was donated to the museum by Emperor Nicholas II.
The museum has a lot of paintings and memorable exhibits, telling about the life and military career of the great Russian commander.

How much do they spend on keeping this stone building warm in winter? :))
Hi;) I do not even have a clue :) This is a monument of national importance, so everything is spent from the state budget.
You mean with your tax money :)))
We do not yet have private museums of this level :) There are only small private apartments-museums and galleries.
