Marking International Women's Day, on 8 March our museum offers free entry for women to the Exhibition of Court Carriages and the Martial Chamber of Tsarskoe Selo.
Our permanent exhibition of imperial carriages of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries is open since 1990 in the former Duty Stable not far from the main entrance to the Catherine Park.
The Martial Chamber is Russia's first museum of World War One. Its foundation was laid by Emperor Nicholas II. Dedicated to the particularly tragic period in history, our Russia in the Great War museum has gathered nearly 2,000 artefacts from all over the country and abroad. Various weapons, uniforms, medals, photographs and documents illustrate some of the most important events and military operations of that period, as well as the heroism of Russian imperial officers and soldiers. Particularly noteworthy:
- Uniforms of Russia's last imperial family;
- Exact replica of French Nieuport 17 fighter;
- Authentic Ford T automobile of ca. 1908-14;
- Several howitzers and an armoured car;
- Superbly crafted replicas of clothing, footwear and ammunition of British and Scottish infantry regiments generously provided by Sir Peter Jackson, a famous New Zealand director.
The Exhibition of Court Carriages is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (last entry 5 p.m.). Address: 8 Sadovaya Street, Pushkin
