Until 17 February the Great Hall of the Catherine Palace houses the exhibition Gifts from Museum Friends showcasing nearly 100 of more than 150 objects donated by or obtained thanks to members of our Museum's Friends Society in 2024.

On display are watercolours, dolls, chairs, a bronze sculpture, nineteenth-century cold weapons, early twentieth-century firearms, photographs, and porcelain pieces of the famous Raphael Service.

Particularly noteworthy:

  • Four flat plates of 1903 from the Raphael Service, a famous porcelain set produced by the St Petersburg Imperial Porcelain Manufactory in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; now our collection boasts eighteen pieces of this set (pic. 2/8 above)
