Hermitage: Day 2

Today Katy and I spent all day at the Hermitage. It was an epic feat of exertion. We saw French art from the 15th-20th century, British art, palace interiors, treasure galleries, gold galleries, diamond galleries, and the 'Hidden Treasue' galleries which aren't even on the museum map due to their controversial history and present state. They are stolen art collections from the Nazis that the Russian army seized during WWII. By far this collection has the best Impressionist and post Impressionist pieces in the museum.

I do believe Katy and I walked through every room in the museum, some two or three or four times. We were run a bit ragged by the end.
