First Reception room

The name of the room is nominal because the purpose of the room remains unknown. The introductory exposition in the room tells the history of the place and the construction of the Summer Palace of Peter the Great.

The tile panels were reconstructed during the renovation in 1961–1964 after the Dutch tiles of the 18th century (the original samples are displayed on the wall where part of the brickwork of the 18th century is visible).
