Built in the 1760s, the colonnaded building was acquired in 1830 by the aristocratic Yusupov family to house their magnificent collection of paintings. The cellar contains an exhibition with wax figures on
the notorius "mad monk" Grigoriy Rasputin, who was murdered there in 1916 by Prince Felix Yusupov. (You'll need to buy a separate ticket for the Rasputin exhibit.)
