Cloakroom

Separate cloakrooms were a sign of the Western European style of life, which Peter the Great sought to introduce in Russia. After the new fashion clothes were to be stored in wardrobes instead of chests.

Original pine wardrobes made by Russian craftsmen have remained in the room. The showcase displays clothes of Peter the Great.
