In the architectural models section, visitors will see a rare collection of design models created under the supervision of great architects such as Francesco Rastrelli, Antonio Rinaldi, and Auguste de Montferrand. Finally, the unique Gallery of Casts – a collection of plaster copies taken from original works of antique sculpture – will provide visitors with insight into the teaching methods and specific features of the educational process at the Imperial Academy of Arts.
