Through the exhibits of the Gatchina Memorial Museum of Pavel Shcherbov visitors can explore the spirit of the early 20th century. The museum of the well known artist, the pioneer of national cartoons, was arranged in his estate in 1992. The estate is not only a place retaining memories of many famous artists and writers like Mikhail Nesterov or Maksim Gorky but one of the few survived country houses built in the late Art Nouveau style (architect S.Krichinsky, 1911).

It is the artist's widow Anastasia Shcherbova who put a lot of effort into initiation of the museum.

Special exhibits are devoted to the history and architecture of Gatchina, first days of Russian air force and school of pilots located in Gatchina, famous writer Aleksandr Kuprin and World War II years.

Fine and applied art, coins, photographs, documents, historic relics and artifacts are presented in the museum depository fund.

In winter season (between October 15 and April 30) every Sunday Russian romances and folk songs can be heard at the concerts arranged in the cosy drawing room of the museum.

The museum exhibition hall often houses rotating art shows.
