This is my favourite museum in Saint Petersburg (well, I also love the Hermitage and Pavel I Palace). Officially it is called Rosiiskii Gosudarstvennii Musei Artiki i Antartiki. It is situated in the centre, close to Nevsky Prospekt and the main railway station. There are the ground floor and the first floor. Each floor shows the history of the Arctic or the Antarctic, with taxidermist animals, maps, pictures, history of some famous expeditions, etc. It is a very impressive museum if you love travelling. When going out you will be so contagious by what you saw that you will think in joining an expedition to the Antarctica! In order to pay like Russian (if you do not speak Russian or do not look like a Russian), do not talk too much; just ask one ticket with one finger. Better if you have a plastic bag with you in your other hand; Russian do not leave home without such a bag. Downstairs, the “garderob” (wardrobe) is free. They sell books related to the history of the two Poles
