The water museum in St. Petersburg is rightfully called Museum Complex “The Universe of Water”. The museum complex has three expositions.

  1. The Water World of St. Petersburg. This exposition presents historical information on water pipes of different nations as well as the history of water supply in St. Petersburg. Among the exhibit items you can find a large number of photographs, reproductions, historical documents. The old bathroom fitments, appliances and devices related with the city’s water supply can attract live interest of visitors.

 

2. Underground World of Petersburg. This is a spectacular multimedia exhibition where visitors will be able to repeat the water way from the water intake to apartments through the pipes – and back to the treatment facilities. Also, there is one of the largest mock-ups of the city historic center at this exhibition.
