This programme devoted to the Winter Palace, the residence of the Russian emperors, enables you to make a unique journey through time. Computer models present the palace and its surroundings in different historical eras - in the reigns of Nicholas I (mid-19th century) and Nicholas II (late 19th - early 20th century), and in the present day. The panoramas are accompanied by commentaries and supplemented by paintings and graphic art as well as photographs. Accompanying texts explain in detail how the appearance of the Winter Palace and its interior decoration have changed in thecourse of 250 years, and also describe various aspects of life in the palace that was both official residence and home to members of the Romanov dynasty. A special section of the programme gives information on the Alexander Column, erected as a monument to Alexander I who defeated Napoleon.
