The State Hermitage Museum - Treasury of the Northern Capital

The State Hermitage Museum started with a small private collection of Empress Catherine II. Today, its exposition of three million pieces of world art occupies five buildings, namely, the Winter Palace, Hermitage Theatre, Small Hermitage, Old Hermitage and New Hermitage. The museum collection covers the period from the Stone Age to the present day. Here you can find a collection of the primitive art in the territory of the former Soviet Union (the "Paleolithic Venus", flagstones with petroglyphs), antique pieces (vases, coffins, goldware), porcelain from different eras and European paintings of the XIII-XX centuries.

In the Hermitage Museum you can see the works of Leonardo da Vinci (including the "Madonna Litta", considered the most famous painting in the museum), Raphael, Titian, El Greco, Velazquez, Rubens, Gainsborough, Monet and other world famous artists. The Hermitage Museum also has one of the largest numismatic collections in the country - more than a million pieces (coins, medals, badges), and a large collection of weapons exhibited in the Knights' Hall. Here you can also view the chambers of royalties: the boudoir and personal living room of Empress Maria Alexandrovna, the malachite living room of Alexandra Feodorovna, a small dining room of Nicholas II - the very room where the Provisional Government was arrested during the assault on the Winter Palace.
