Amazing!
This was the highlight of my short break here and it was the first thing I did as it was so close to my hotel. I'd recommend the audio guide which was really useful to understand a lot of the pieces from the display of eggs, enamels, silver and history. As I visited in the Winter it was very quiet, so no queues or fighting to see items which I'm guessing is what it's like in the Summer

Renovated Palace housing the Museum
Two ticks in one go! The Palace has been extensively refurbished and is a must see in its own right, to hold the Faberge Museum too, a bonus. Shop (variety of prices) and cafe at ground level. Strict security at the door coats and bags need to be checked in. Personalised head guide is well worth the extra cost (cleaning wipes provided). Museum highlighted the development of the Faberge brand and includes 10+ Eggs (those not in Moscow). Photos can be taken (no need to buy an extra ticket). Although some of the exhibits were not my taste, others were exquisite. Definitely recommended (but it is quite a walk down Nevsky Prospect).
