The museum features the most comprehensive collection of Russian imperial art outside of Russia and a world-renowned collection of eighteenth-century French decorative art and furnishings.

Encircled by woodlands, the twenty-five acre estate provides visitors a tranquil oasis of luscious formal gardens.
