Russia's Ministry of Culture awards Tsarskoe Selo for contributing to the development of the Pushkin Card programme.

Launched in 2021, the youth cultural access programme is a state-sponsored initiative designed to help young people afford and experience arts, theater, museums, and historical sites. Pushkin Card provides visitors aged 14 to 22 with state-funded credit to buy tickets for approved museums, theaters, concert halls, and cinemas across the country.

Our museum was award in the Best Federal Museum category. The award ceremony for winners was held in Moscow by Tatyana Golikova, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, and Olga Lyubimova, Minister of Culture.

Over five years, the Pushkin Card programme has helped more than 250 thousand young visitors to Tsarskoe Selo. Over 13 mln young card holders receive five thousand rubles each to visit cultural institutions annually.
