We took a private tour here combined with the Russian Art Museum and could not believe what a wonderful collection of paintings was on display. Unlike the rest of the Hermitage it was relatively quiet, allowing for ample viewing time. So many beautiful paintings..

Although this Museum is technically part of the Hermitage, it's physically separate and feels very different. The artworks on show are displayed much more effectively than in the Hermitage, where paintings are often poorly lit or suffer from glare. It's impressionist collection is first rate...More

This is where the Impressionist and post impressionist paintings from the Hermitage collection can be found. There was an exhibition of Manolo Blahnik shoes, too.
