New life of iconostasis from Alexander Palace.
In 2002 restoration artists from the Hermitage's own Special Scientific Restoration Workshops restored the campaign iconostasis of Alexander I. This iconostasis (V.K. Shebuev) was placed in AP at the middle of the nineteenth century. This screen was made in 1816 and didn`t follow the Emperor from Russia to Paris, as the scientists supposed before.
Now we can see the AP iconostasis in the Church of Saint Alexander Nevsky in the General Staff building (the Hermitage museum complex). The church was constructed in 1827-30 to Rossi's design with the participation of the painter Antonio Vigi and served as the private church of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Tzarskoje Selo
The management of Tzarskoje Selo museum decided to open for visitors the rooms in Zubov Wing of the Catherine Palace. The dimensions of the rooms was restored in 2004. After redecoration (without the renewal of the previous interiors) the rooms will be used for exibitions.

Hello Vladimir,
How is that??
They will be opened as exhibition rooms??? Just that?? Sorry, but i´m totally astonished. The last i knew was that they were intended to be restored in due time.
Maria Alexandrovna´s bedroom, for example, had even after the WWII damage retained a lot of its decoration.
I cannot believe all of these rooms will be left unrestored. The Lyons room, for instance, they have all of its lapis decorative elements preserved. And Cameron´s Catherine II´s rooms were some of the most beautiful interiors the man has ever created.
I hope i simply misunderstood the post!!
