The exhibit in St Petersburg is called Treasures of the Tzars and it
includes, and I quote from a brochure.
"From crown jewels to a children's carriage. Hundreds of priceless royal
treasures will be on display, many laden with Russia's  seemingly limitless
troves of precious metals and stones. Icons of the Orthodox CHurch, Faberge
creations, a throne, a children's carriag , arms,  armour, toys, dolls, and
a gem studded, sable trimmed crown are just a few of the exhibition's
highlights."
