Winter Museum "Christmas Ornament Factory" at the Kirov Palace of Culture

About museum

Shop "Christmas Ornament Factory" in Saint Petersburg creates a festive atmosphere of a fairy-tale factory where hardworking gnomes and kind fairies make tree decorations — timelessly classic and enchantingly magical.
For centuries, the uniquely magical technique of producing glass Christmas ornaments has been practiced.
Throughout the New Year exhibition, presented as an engaging labyrinth, guests are accompanied by fairy-tale characters — professional guides who, in an interactive way, tell about the traditions and customs of celebrating the New Year in different eras and on different continents, reveal the secrets of the glassblowers' and artists' craft, and vividly describe the museum's unique exhibits that demonstrate the achievements of ornament production from the 19th to the 21st century worldwide, much of which consists of unique private collections. Our guests can make their most cherished wish on the Wishing Bridge under magical snow and find answers to the trickiest questions.
