One of the highlights of our St. Petersburg tour...The Hermitage
The entry way to the Hermitage...which use to be the Winter Palace. And yes, that IS gold!
Do you think they liked ornate decorations???
I could handle a staircase like that in my house...hahaHere I am in one of the art filled hallways. The Hermitage is known for being one of the world's best museums. Room after room of amazing art. It is said that if you spent 30 seconds looking at each item in the Hermitage, it would take you 9 years to look at everything (with no breaks). Obviously we didn't get to look over everything. But we did enjoy many masterpieces.
Our only regret was that we didn't have more time to enjoy the Hermitage...but after all we were on a schedule!
