The State Hermitage Museum
A With a collection of almost three million artefacts and over two and a half million visitors a year, the State Hermitage is one of the world’s most significant and respected museums. Located in Saint Petersburg, the museum is host to works of art from Russia, Europe and the East with exhibits ranging from mantasks first attempts at art to the masters of the early 20th century.
B The State Hermitage is actually a number of buildings including the main museum complex, the Winter Palace, the Menshikov Palace and other monuments to Russiatasks rich past. The main building on the banks of the Neva River contains an impressive 1,057 rooms and halls although not all of them are open to the general public.
C The Hermitage collection was started in 1764 with 225 paintings that Catherine the Great had brought from Berlin. During her reign, she invested in over 4,000 paintings as well as 100,000 other pieces of art. Continuing the tradition, Tsar Nicholas I added to the collection from the best that Europe had to offer. When the Hermitage was renamed the State Hermitage in 1917, it included even more art from private collections.
D The sheer size of the State Hermitage is awe-inspiring. Ittasks said that if a visitor admired every one of the exhibits for just one minute, then it would take 11 years to see them all! From the masters of the Italian Renaissance to the masters of modern art such as Matisse, Picasso and Kandinsky, the State Hermitage is an education in the development of art. A guided tour is a must
E The museum also has a vital role in the preservation and restoration of the countrytasks heritage. The artefacts that the main complex cannot house are to be found in state-of-the-art storage facilities in the Staraya Derevnya district, and visitors can take a 1 km tour.
F In recent years, the museum featured in Alexander Sokurovtasks taskRussian Ark." This 2002 film blends three centuries of Russian history with the story of the Hermitage itself as the camera sweeps through 33 rooms in just one hour-and-a-half shot
G With barely 10% of the museumtasks valuables on display, ittasks no surprise that it has branched out into international exhibitions and museums in other countries. The State Hermitage is now not only a collection of paintings, sculptures and other works of art, but also a magnificent symbol of Russia herself.
