Saint Petersburg is the first guidebook exclusively devoted to the lesser-known museums in the city.

It will tell you what they are, where they are, when they are open, and what you can expect to find in them. It will open up a new world, a St. Petersburg that is prepared to reveal its secrets to anyone who takes the trouble to investigate and inquire. (from John Julius Norwich's introduction to this book).

Cathy Giangrande's guide is as much a traveler's gem as are the treasures she describes. For anyone visiting St. Petersburg or merely wanting to learn more about one of the world's greatest cities, her guide is a must.

Cathy Giangrande is an art historian and archaeological conservator. She is the author of the TV series Unseen Treasures and has co-authored The Essential Guide to Collectibles. She works on Russian projects for the World Monuments Fund.

The World Monuments Fund, founded in 1965, is the foremost private nonprofit organization and has worked with local communities and partners to stem the loss of more than 400 important sites in 80 countries.
