The biggest Hall in the Palace is Blue Hall, which occupies the territory of 400 square meters. Nowadays Konstantinovsky Palace is a part of national complex&nb sp;«Congress Palace». Everyone can come here on excursion and enjoy collections of Russian paintings, graphic arts, porcelain, collected by famous Russian musicians Galina Vishnevskaya and Mstislav Rastropovich.
