Why you should visit it
Yusupov palace is worth visiting not just because notorious Rasputin was murdered there (though of course there is a small exposition dedicated to those events), but also because its interiors, that used to belong to the richest family of Russia, are nowadays the best preserved evidence of the 18th century living.
