        🌅 Embankment by the Sea Passenger Terminal
        пл. Морской Славы, 1
        The open Gulf of Finland
        Start 40 minutes before sunset (in October — around 17:00): the open bay, port cranes and the WHSD. From Primorskaya it is half an hour on foot, easier by taxi.

        • The Soviet Modernist building was built in 1973–1983 to a design by Vitaly Sokhin and his colleagues.
        • The walls are clad with panels shaped like sails, and the 78-metre spire carries a little ship.
        • Sokhin travelled round the ports of Europe and concluded that “nowhere in the world are sea terminals built” — the building type had to be invented.
        • The sails were criticised as expensive decoration, but the authors defended them, making them light, with an aluminium coating.

        A former cable factory by the gulf: embankment, festivals, sunsets
        Sit on the wooden steps of the embankment — from here the sun sets right into the bay. The embankment is open late in the evening too.

        • The space took over part of the Sevkabel factory — Russia's oldest cable factory, founded by Siemens & Halske.
        • It was Siemens & Halske that first linked Petersburg and Moscow by telegraph and lit Nevsky Prospekt with electricity.
        • In 1918 the factory was nationalised and given its present name, “Sevkabel”.
        • The renovation was devised by the KHVOYA bureau: all the factory buildings were kept, and reel-shaped benches were placed along the alley.
        • The first event took place in June 2017, and Sevkabel Port officially opened in September 2018.
        • In 2020 the neighbouring Vera Slutskaya factory was added to the space — it was named “Iskabel”.

        • The museum officially opened on 30 September 2010, having welcomed its first visitors back on 20 May.
        • The name stands for “era of art” — “Era” plus “Art”.
        • The building dates from 1951 in the Stalinist neoclassical style; in Soviet times it housed a district party committee, then a synthetic rubber institute.
        • The entrance is guarded by the sculptures of Era and Art by Dmitry Zhukov, made on the museum's commission.
        • The collection has over 2,800 works by more than 300 artists, from the 1950s to the present day.
