An important stage of the restoration of Catherine's Palace has been completed in Tsarskoye Selo. After five years of painstaking work, the private rooms of Catherine II, which were practically destroyed during the Great Patriotic War, were opened. They were recreated according to historical descriptions and photographs. Now there are many restoration techniques on display here - more than ten types of gilding, wood carving, majolica, cobalt glass, engravings and paintings.
