Oranienbaum (Lomonosov) is a tsars’ residence located 40 km westwards of St.Petersburg, which was renamed in honor of the Russian genius scientist Lomonosov in the Soviet time. The fantastical palaces and pavilions of the complex take visitors to the 18^th century.

The Chinese Palace occupies a very picturesque position in the park. The pseudo-Chinese exotic character of the pavilion makes it look like a toy. Only here can visitors see the unique bugles room. Especially valuable are the plafond paintings made by the members of the Venetian Academy of Art and authentic parquet floors.

Fortification works called Petershtadt was built in the middle of the 18^th century for Peter III.  The exhibition contains a collection of West European art, rare furniture from the Baltic countries and 218 lacquered paintings.

Elegant building of another pleasure pavilion Katalnaya Gorka is of great artistic value. There is a wealth of sculpture, carving and painting. The porcelain room, which is decorated with porcelain groups manufactured in 1775, is a real masterpiece.
