The Hermitage

I think that most people in our country know the building of The Hermitage.

The Hermitage is one of the world’s largest museums. It is located in Saint Petersburg. It consists of 5 buildings. The museum’s collection houses about 3 million different works of art.

From the very beginning the Hermitage was Catherine’s II private collection of paintings, but in the time of Nicholas I the Hermitage was opened for public. It happened in 1852.

Nowadays thousands of people from our country, as well as foreigners from other countries, visit this wonderful palace all year round.
