Yusupov Palace

The Yusupovs, a very wealthy and important family in 19^th-century St. Petersburg were landowners and had many properties in the region. Today this in-town palace is home to a good museum showing lifestyles of the early 20^th century rich and famous. The basement was the haunting location of Rasputin's murder, and there is an exhibition outlining all the grisly details. The palace also has a small but glorious theater, where Rachmaninoff would perform in his day. Don’t miss the excellent gift shop.
