The Hermitage
The State Hermitage be 38 the Palace Embankment, Dvortsovy Municipal Okrug, Central District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
One of the largest and oldest museums in the world, it was founded in 1764 by Catherine the Great and has been open to the public since 1852.
Its collections, of which only a small part is on permanent display, comprise over three million items, including the largest collection of paintings in the world.
The collections occupy a large complex of six historic buildings along Palace Embankment, including the Winter Palace, a former residence of Russian emperors. Apart from them, the Menshikov Palace, Museum of Porcelain, Storage Facility at Staraya Derevnya and the eastern wing of the General Staff Building are also part of the museum. The museum has several exhibition centers abroad.
The Hermitage is a federal state property. Since 1990, the director of the museum has been Mikhail Piotrovsky.
Of six buildings of the main museum complex, four, named the Winter Palace, Small Hermitage, Old Hermitage and New Hermitage, are partially open to the public. The other two are the Hermitage Theatre and the Reserve House.
The entrance ticket foreign tourists costs more than the fee paid by citizens of Russia and Belarus. However, entrance is free of charge the first Thursday of every month for all visitors, and free daily for students and children. The museum is closed on Mondays. The entrance for individual visitors is located in the Winter Palace, accessible from the Courtyard.
Today the collection on display is simply staggering and represents nearly every major epoch in the history of man, since Paleolithic times to the present day.
To even give a rundown of the highlights is exhausting, but you can expect to see the likes of lion-headed goddesses from ancient Egypt, depictions of the mighty Hercules on millenia-old Greek pottery, lifelike statues of Roman Emperors from classical times, finely-crafted bronze vessels from the Near East and intricate wood-cuts of Geishas and Samurais from the Far East.
Perhaps even more fascinating, at least for those interested in Russia's glory days, are the exhibits illuminating Russia's Imperial past. These include everything from waxworks of Peter I, attire of Tsars and Tsarinas, and even extravagant gold-inlay gala carriages and sledges, used for journeying to masquerade balls.
Finally, no run-down of the Hermitage's treasures would be complete without making mention of the Museum's stunning collections of Western European art, which date from the 13 th Century onwards.
The world's largest meeting of Rembrandt (20 pieces) plus the Impressionists, Matisse, Picasso and Gauguin, the Works by Giorgione, Titian, Leonardo Da Vinci and Caravaggio all might be too much for the over-enthusiastic connoisseur!
Enjoy. . .
