Spent
a
couple
of
hours
here
at
the
St
Petersburg
MAACM.
Fantastic
museum
that
I
highly
recommend.
It
turned
out
to
be
one
of
my
favorite
museums
that
I
have
visited
anywhere.
As
for
Saint
Petersburg,
this
museum
not
only
rivals
the
Dali,
but
surpasses
it
in
many
ways.
The
building
itself
architecturally
is
phenomenal.
It's
worth
just
to
see
it
structurally.
It's
open,
airy,
with
beautiful
lines
and
texture.
Yes,
I'm
talking
about
the
building!
The
exhibits
are
well
curated.
The
art
and
furniture
are
beautifully
presented
and
spaced
so
you
can
enjoy
each
piece.
The
furniture,
lamps,
photographs,
tiles,
and
art
capture
all
aspects
of
this
movement.
It's
a
comprehensive
collection.
The
works
are
intentionally
and
smartly
set
up.
The
large
lettered
information
panels
are
both
informative
and
easy
to
read
(no
squinting).
Why
don't
more
museums
present
this
way?
I
especially
appreciated
how
ahead
of
its
time
this
movement's
works
were.
The
use
of
tiles,
glass,
and
wood
still
speaks
to
contemporary
times.
And
notice
how
many
women
are
featured
as
well.
Afterwards
we
enjoyed
coffee
at
their
terrific
coffee
shop
and
relaxed
in
their
contemporary
couches.
This
is
a
must
see
museum
(and
not
just
for
St
Petersburg,
but
any
museum
anywhere).
What
a
credit
to
the
City
and
to
arts
in
general.
Note
that
admission
is
not
cheap
($25),
but
they
do
offer
discounts
to
select
groups.
No
matter
what,
it's
worth
it.
