The exposition features the works of second-year students of the architectural department of the St. Petersburg College of Architecture and Civil Engineering, made in the styles of "Painting" and "Graphics" with elements of architectural modeling of famous buildings of the time of Peter the Great.

Among the exhibits are copies of the project "Nevsky Gates of the Peter and Paul Fortress", the famous mosaic of Mikhail Lomonosov "Peter I" and mosaics at the metro station "Admiralteyskaya", fragments of architectural monuments of Peter the Great's time "Peter and Paul Cathedral", "Botny House", etc. Of particular interest is a copy mosaic panel with the image of Peter I, which is placed on the facade of the St. Sampson Church in Poltava.
