There is a nice collection of historical sundials in St. Petersburg's
Lomonosov Museum, which is in the old Kunstkammer.  I am helping the
curator, Tatiana Moisseeva, to catalogue it.  

Also check out the Hermitage, which has some sundials.  I saw them last
fall after hours and don't know if they are on public display.  They might
be in a "private" wing of the palace.  

A colleague of mine, a curator in Stockholm, may know of any dials there. 
I'll forward your message to him.

Have fun!
