The collection contains more than 4,000 works, and in terms of its size and the superlative quality of its works is one of the best collections in the world. The most valuable items in the Fabergé Museum collection come from the 9 Easter Eggs created by Carl Fabergé for the last two Russian Tsars, Alexander III and Nicholas II. The collection includes all the mediums in which the House of Fabergé worked, including “objects de fantasie”, jewelry, silverware, and interior and cult objects.
