Over the years a number of architects worked on the palace including the famous Italian sculptor Emilio Sala, producing a variety of architectural styles.[citation needed] Following the Russian Revolution, the palace was nationalised and its works of art were largely relocated to the Hermitage and other museums.17 December] 1916, Felix Yusupov, along with Vladimir Purishkevich and Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich invited Grigori Rasputin to the Moika Palace.While most nobles' palaces were converted to mundane use, the Education Commissariat decided to preserve the mansion as a public museum.Second floor reception areas and that part of the building associated with Rasputin's murder, are maintained as a museum open to public tours.
