The Hermitage - the main course Part 1

So we arrived at 4.30pm as it’s late night opening tonight and we discovered the amazing “Peacock clock” gets wound to go off at 8pm just once a week on a Wednesday- bonus.
What to say about The Hermitage that houses possible the world’s best collection of art, porcelain and antiquities amassed firstly by Catherine the Great.
4 hours later we left and still hadn’t seen 1/3 of the main building let alone the other 5 sites!!
It’s just too big and too full of mind blowing art, objects and rooms filled to the brim of eye watering beauty.
Sorry for the following loads of photos!!Baca lagi
