• Welcome to Erarta!


It is a museum that rewards return visits – to discover new exhibitions, attend private views, experience signature projects, savour creative cuisine and award-winning desserts, and spend time immersed in art.

The chocolate bar in your hand was inspired by The Valley of Colours, a book written by Marina Varvarina, founder of the project at whose core is the Erarta Museum of Contemporary Art in St. Petersburg. It is a story of a world in which colours play the lead, and we have tried to capture its spirit in the universally relatable form of a small sweet treat.

We hope this tiny compliment inspires you to take a short break and pay a visit to the Valley of Colours. This book-themed room on floor 5 of our museum offers a new perspective on colours and the way they mirror and shape our personality, influence our mood, and reveal our inner world.
