Museum of bread
The museum of bread baking history started to work in 1988 as a departmental museum of the joint company "Lenhlebprom". Its founder and the first director was M. I. Glazamitskiy (1939-1995). In 1996 he was appointed posthumously as a prize-winner of Saint-Petersburg Government Prize of literature, art and architecture for foundation of the first Russian Bread Museum and the exhibition "Christmas as the holiday for kids". There are a lot of different exhibitions in the museum. The cycle named "Not only the bread" was created to promote other's museum collections that don't have their own exhibition room. In 2000 the competition for the best literature work about bread is going to be arranged. In the near future the museum is going to create the International Association of Bread and Food Museum.

Botanical garden
St. Petersburg's Botanical Garden is located on the Petrograd side, and is one of the oldest Botanical Gardens in the country. The Garden was founded in 1714 by order of Peter the Great as the Apothecary's Garden, and soon became a center for horticultural research that was the equal of any other in Europe in terms of the importance and size of its collection. Today, most of the Botanical Garden is designed in English landscape style. Plants from Russia's temperate zone grow uncovered, while the greenhouses house a large collection of tropical and sub-tropical plants; the Garden's 'Alpine hills' are also home to flora from the Caucasus, the Mediterranean, and Asia. In addition to all this, the Botanical Garden also has a collection of various types of fern, Chinese and Japanese plants, palms, bamboo, conifers, orchids, and much more. Giant water-lilies flower every summer and fall in the pool of one of the greenhouses - their leaves can reach 2 meters in diameter, and can support weights of up to 60 kg.
