We went back to the Hermitage today and stayed for five hours! I feel exhausted and proud - we saw almost everything! Truthfully, some galleries we breezed through on the way to others. Neither of us let go of our maps aside from our visits to the gold and diamond galleries when we were accompanied by a museum guide. It is an amazing collection of art. A very different museum than I am used to. While searching for a bathroom we found ourselves in this long gallery.
It seems to double as storage space!!
The highlight was finding the 'hidden treasures' exhibit. On the map the galleries are not colored - possible to discourage visitors? This is where the most beautiful Renoirs are located, along with a Courbet and Monets and an early Picasso. Photographs are not allowed.
Location:Бол. Конюшенная ул.,St Petersburg,Russia
