     "The old private residence on the embankment" is both the name of the museum and an architectural monument from the second half of the 18th century.
     The exposition “The portrait in the antique interior” opened in 1998 and immediately caught the fancy of citizens. In addition, portraits, furniture, porcelain, and mirrors appeared in the halls, thus making it possible to show masterpieces in their typical environment. Having preserved the purpose of the rooms, the authors of the exposition are able to show the shift in interior artistic styles at the end of the 18th – beginning of the 20th centuries. In the museum you can find “The man’s room the end of the 18th – beginning of the 19th centuries”, “The living room – 1830-s”, “The woman’s room in the middle of the 19th century”.
