For more than 50 years mediamagnat Malcolm Forbes was collecting the artwork of Fabergé firm. In 2004 it went on sale on Sothbey's, London. The collection was purchased in full by Russian billionaire Victor Vekselberg and therefore was saved from being split and sprayed all over the world. Since then the Fabergé collection began to be replenished to become the world's largest. In 2013 it was decided to put it all on public display as Fabergé museum in newly restored Shuvalov's Palace, St Petersburg, RUSSIA.
The hour-long guided tours of the museum should be BOOKED WITH US at least two weeks in advance. With just 15 - 20 tours a day, and a maximum of 15 people on each tour, demand is expected to be high, particularly as St Petersburg nears its peak White Nights season.
