Museum Alexandrowka
Museum Alexandrowka stands in the Russian Colony Alexandrowka in Potsdam, within a UNESCO World Heritage area. Its 1826 building combines Russian and Prussian influences in a setting shaped by architectural history. Six Biedermeier rooms contain transparent exhibition panels about the colony and its former Russian singers.
King Frederick William III established the colony in 1826 to commemorate his friend, Tsar Alexander I. A permanent exhibition traces historical connections between the Russian and Prussian monarchies. The displays also explore how Russian singers lived within this distinctive settlement.
Outside, 2,000 square metres of garden form part of the reconstructed Lenné grounds. More than 500 renatured fruit trees create the garden’s central living collection. The grounds become part of the exhibition, with different fruit trees waiting to be explored. A small bistro and shop add food, literature and souvenirs to the visit.
