The main museum points of the city form a rich and diverse picture.

Pavlovsk State Museum of Local History, whose history began on October 1, 1991, accumulates local archives, archaeological finds and materials about the life of the city - an excellent stop for those who want to understand the daily life and transformation of the region. In the vicinity, you can continue the route with walks through the park and neighboring estates, and the proximity to the cultural centers of St. Petersburg and Tsarskoye Selo makes it possible to have interesting joint and imported exhibitions.
The museum life of Pavlovsk is active and diverse: seasonal exhibitions, educational programs and public events are regularly held here, including the all-Russian Night of Museums. Summer festivals in park areas and temporary projects attract both local and visiting visitors; often expositions from the collections of major museums of St. Petersburg are brought to the city, expanding the cultural palette and offering new thematic excursions. Follow the posters of museums and parks – in spring and summer, the intensity of events is especially high.
Come to Pavlovsk to experience the combination of park and palace, discover unique exhibits and enjoy leisurely walks.
