Visit the Art and Facts Museum (MAF): it’s all about science, contemporary art, and unusual facts
St. Petersburg is famous for its classical museums, but sometimes you want to add a different view to your trip. MAF — the Museum of Art and Facts — offers an unusual way to explore science, art, technology, and the world around us.
At MAF, more than 100 art objects and interactive exhibits are organized into a single tour — from the wonders of nature to technologies and visions of the future. A real meteorite, a megalodon tooth, a robot, and a golden LEGO brick—plus plenty more reasons to be amazed. Many of the exhibits are hands-on.
For VALO guests and friends — a 200-ruble discount on adult tickets when purchased on the museum’s website using the promo code VALO (1,050 ₽ instead of 1,250 ₽).
MAF will appeal to curious adults, families with children, and anyone who loves discovering the unique side of St. Petersburg. The trip from VALO’s aparthotels to the museum takes 35 minutes by metro or 20 minutes by car.
The Art and Facts Museum is located in VOKZAL 1853 at 118C Obvodny Canal Embankment, on the basement level, where there is a life-size model of an old steam locomotive. VOKZAL 1853 is Russia’s largest gastronomic, cultural, and leisure complex, located in the historic building of the former Warsaw Railway Station.
Hours: daily from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
