When you visit St. Petersburg, there are loads of attractive places that travel agencies would not include on their tour to St. Petersburg, including several museums, multiple beautiful parks, lots of historical sites, etc. and if you didn't search for them, you probably wouldn't notice them at all. However, the reason travel agencies didn't tell you about these places isn't that they don't want you to learn about them. Still, there are many major attractions in St. Petersburg that you should visit first before visiting the other less-important places. For instance, it's a lot more reasonable for Russia tour operators to show you one of the most excellent museums in Russia and the second-largest art museums in the world, the State Hermitage Museum before telling you about a small museum in St. Petersburg that won't probably attract everyone's attention. Another example would be Peterhof and other suburban attractions of St. Petersburg; it's more logical to visit Peterhof and Pushkin before going all out and visit Lomonosov during your tour to Russia. It doesn't mean that Lomonosov isn't worth the visit on the St. Petersburg tour, it's that there are many major attractions that you should visit first. Let's say you have enough time, energy, and money to visit all the attractions in St. Petersburg like you've got at least a month for your travel to Russia. You should expect to see everything on your Russia tour. Still, with the limited time most tourists have on their trip to Russia, travel agencies are forced to prioritize the places of interest on the Russia tour for their travelers. However, every tourist has at least some time off on their tour to Russia. Some people would like to spend this time shopping; some want to try St. Petersburg top restaurants; a lot of people use this time to wander around the city, and some people would like to visit the places that are not included on tour to St. Petersburg. As one of the top Russia tour operators, we at the Star Travel Group have decided to introduce less famous attractions of Russia to our tourists as much as we can, so they can choose how they want to spend their free time on St. Petersburg tour. One of the less famous places that you can visit on your travel to Russia is the Museum of Water in St. Petersburg. The Universe of Water Museum locates on Shpalernaya Ulitsa, near Tauride Garden. If you're interested to know about how the water system worked in St. Petersburg, this is the place that you should visit on your travel to St. Petersburg.
The Museum of Water settles in the Old Water Tower on Shpalernaya Street. While the old water tower was constructed in 1861 by I. Merts and E. Shuberskiy, it only used for a short time as the central water tower of the city, and due to technical problems, it had retired at the beginning of the 20th century. However, the old water tower stood at its place, and since 2003 has been housing the Museum of Water, which is one of the exciting, yet, not so popular attractions on the trip to Russia.
One of the main exhibitions in the Museum of Water is the multimedia exhibitions of the Underground World of St. Petersburg. You can find one of the most significant scale models of the historical center of St. Petersburg in this exhibition on your tour to Russia. The purpose of this section in the Museum of Water is to show how the water system works in St. Petersburg. You can trace the water from water intake at the bottom of the Neva River to the water treatment plant that makes usable for humans, then to the houses through pipes and back to the wastewater treatment plant. It looks like a trip into the underground of the city through the sewers. This section of the museum will help visitors, especially young children, to learn about the process that gives clean water to houses in St. Petersburg. A movie is also displaying on a large screen above the scale model, which provides visitors with the current state of water waste and water supply in St. Petersburg and the role of Vodokanal in all of these processes. This section of the museum is excellent for bringing your children during your tour to Russia.
More than 70 percent of our planet is covered with water, while many scientists have worked on water, and today we know a lot about it, it's still one of the world's greatest mysteries. The multimedia section of the Universe of Water is entirely devoted to this matter. Since St. Petersburg and water have a close relationship, this exhibition's division is wholly dedicated to St. Petersburg and its water system. Different parts of the presentation will tell you about various aspects of water in our life. You can learn a lot about water as a mystery, how it is used as a medicine, how engineers have used water to produce energy, and many different things about water that many people didn't know before visiting this museum. The atmosphere and space of different parts of this exhibition change with lights, effects, and multimedia, which makes it more fun for children and adults, who have decided to learn about this known mystery on their tour to Russia. If you're visiting St. Petersburg with your family, this museum is an excellent place for an educational and entertaining family visit on your travel to Russia. You and your children will learn a lot about one of the essential elements in our daily life. There are also multiple interactive programs intended for children of different ages, which guarantee a fun trip for the young minds.
Among the three permanent exhibitions in the Museum of Water in St. Petersburg, The Water World of St. Petersburg is the only classic exhibition in the museum that you can visit when you travel to Russia. You can learn a lot about the history of water supply in St. Petersburg, and how people around the world have supplied water throughout history in this section of the museum. This part of the museum contains several documents, pictures, drawings, items, and other things that display the history and developments of water supply in St. Petersburg in different parts of history. This section of the museum is excellent to learn about how people in ancient Russia have used to supply water.
