Museum of emotions St. Petersburg. Reviews of the visit, prices

In this article, we want to tell readers about the Museum of Emotions (St. Petersburg), which opened in North Palmira recently. All of us traditionally consider St. Petersburg to be the Russian cultural capital, and if we are visiting such a place in this city, then we usually expect aesthetic pleasure. And our expectations are in most cases quite justified when they concern classical museums. But modern art ... it can be so unpredictable! We will try to tell you impartially about the exposition that awaits you in a freshly baked cultural center, and about the feedback of visitors. So, get acquainted.

Museum of emotions (St. Petersburg)

This is a very unusual place, which arose the efforts of the artist Alexei Sergienko. Visitors will visit several rooms-zones, each of which is dedicated to one of the emotions of a person, and not only to visit, but also to plunge into these emotions, they say, "with a head." Guests are expected to install on the themes:

• love;
• surprise;
• joy;
• fear;
• anger;
• inspiration;
• disgust.

As you can see, there is a meeting not only with pleasant and bright experiences, but also with their complete opposite. For example, in order to survive the emotion of fear, the guest should be in a prison cell, in the middle of which there is an electric chair and a real coffin. In a coffin, by the way, you will be offered to lie down, and with a closed lid. They say that the impressions last long!

Acquaintance with disgust and anger does not bode well. But the room dedicated to inspiration is filled with unusual neon light, pleasant music and decorated with luminous ornaments. At that time, visitors can write a message on the issued sheet of paper and attach it to the wall. "Love" will delight you with a lot of hovering over the heads of hearts and an unusual bench, on which you can sit alone, only if you hug.

We will not describe all the installations that the Museum of Emotions (St. Petersburg) offers visitors, so as not to destroy the effect of surprise. We will only say that in the rooms, except for various objects, visitors are expected to still smells and sounds, as well as video installations that help to maximally feel the proposed emotion.

Is it possible to visit the museum for children

The Museum of emotions for visitors has an age limit of 12+. For children under the age of twelve, visiting the exposition is possible only with the accompaniment of adults.

Reviews about visiting the museum

And what do people who have already visited the Museum of St. Petersburg's emotions say? Reviews, unfortunately, in most not very pleasant, and sometimes even outraged. Particularly indignant are those who came to the museum with children. It is unlikely that a small child might like a video installation that shows the cutting of pork carcasses with poured blood and guts or a dead rat lying on the floor right before your eyes. And for the psyche of adult normal people, this can be an overwhelming test.

Careless and aspiring to strong feelings the youth responds to the exhibition more positively. Perhaps visiting such a place helps them get a dose of adrenaline. What is not pleasant to absolutely all categories of visitors is the high cost of entrance tickets.
