The ground floor is occupied by casts – sculptural masterpieces of antiquity – and models of ancient architecture made in the 18th century from cork in the workshop of the Roman architect Antonio Chichi. The so-called Academic Museum on the first floor holds paintings from the museum’s historical collection, works by famous artists whose canvases served as models for study and copying for many generations of students of the Academy. The exhibition dedicated to Architectural Models and Drawing of St. Petersburg of the 18th–19th centuries, which occupies the second floor, introduces the works of outstanding architects of the past. Of particular interest are the unique models of famous architectural monuments of St. Petersburg.
