State Hermitage Museum
There is no need to fly to St. Petersburg to visit he Hermitage. Their collections are digitized and available online – for free!
One of the biggest and most famous museums in the world is impossible to tackle (охватить) in one visit, even if you spend the whole day there. So, instead of trying to, take a “walk” down its seemingly endless halls step by step with the Google Art Project guide or check out the Hermitage website where a digital archive has been uploaded with very convenient navigation through the genres and titles.
In the ‘Highlights’ (лучшее, самое интересное) section, you will find all the most important and rare items that you should know about the Hermitage collection: paintings of famous Russian and foreign artists, the Faberge eggs, select sculptures and jewelry.
