The Stroganov Palace belonged to the Stoganovs, famous patrons and collectors, during two centuries from the early 18th to the early 20th centuries. The most famous member of the Stroganovs Count Alexander Stroganov (1733-1811) promoted the fame of the palace as a centre of true taste. He was the president of the Imperial Academy of Arts and the director of the Public Library. After the revolution the Stroganov Palace was nationalized in 1918 and renamed the National Stroganov House-Museum (1919-1929). The building was presented to the State Hermitage in 1925. Before the Second World War the Stroganov Palace housed the People’s Commissariat of Shipbuilding. The doors of the palace were closed both for visitors and historians. In 1989 the Stroganov Palace was awarded to the Russian Museum and that was a period of its rebirth. In 1995 the first exhibition was opened in the palace. In 2003 the Stroganov Palace opened the first-floor state enfilade. A year later objects from the Stroganov collection were shown in the rooms of the palace. Nowadays the permanent and temporary exhibitions of art from the collection of the Russian Museum and other collections are displayed in the Stroganov Palace.
