Hermitage




Nothing like being a member of the royal family to get first dibs on absolute water frontage. Catherine, of Great fame, splurged a bit on palaces. This one houses quite a nice art collection.

Matisse's Dancers was perhaps the biggest surprise. Such a familiar image but I no idea it is so big.

The interior design is reasonably spectacular. I guess you might expect that in a palace.

This is one of several imposing stair cases.
