ART-MAFIA Game: “The Mystery of the Princely Collection”

The Yusupov princes owned one of the most remarkable private art collections in the Russian Empire. For an hour and a half, the palace transforms into a labyrinth of symbols, signs and secret codes.

First, our young explorers will embark on a quest through the palace rooms. Every detail has a meaning, and their task is to learn how to spot hidden messages, just like true art experts and detectives.

Then the game begins in one of the palace's historic wings. There is a forger among us! With an expert knowledge of art, this mysterious character secretly alters masterpieces, adds details that do not belong and replaces familiar symbols.

Each night, the forger changes something in one of the objects from the princely collection. During the day, the collectors must listen to the host's description, identify the object and vote to uncover the culprit. Success depends on careful observation and the ability to understand works of art.

This programme is an excellent choice for a family outing: it is equally engaging for children and adults.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes.

Recommended for: children aged 7–10.

The programme takes place in a group of individual visitors. Tickets must be purchased for a specific session.
