Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the problems of preservation, restoration and replication of the sculpture of the Summer Garden. The collection of the marble monuments acquired by Peter the First is the most significant one of the garden sculpture. The sculpture monuments had been staying in the open air for 300 years, suffering from the disadvantageous environmental exposure which determined the necessity of substitution of the original works for the copies, accomplished during 2009–2012. The original sculptures preserve at the Mikhailovsky Castle (a branch of the State Russian Museum).
