The Hermitage: Day 1

We started off small at the Hermitage today. First off we couldn't find a map of the museum so we wandered a bit blindly through the Italian and Spanish galleries. The rooms are the most impressive for me so far. The excessively intricate molding overwhelms the eyes. If ever anyone thinks rococo French design over the top, they haven't seen Russia's version.
