State Hermitage Museum
Imperial Russia's treasure vault.
What to Expect
Three million objects in the Winter Palace and five connected buildings. From Rembrandts to Matisse, antiquities to crown jewels. The palace interiors are as significant as the art.
The Tip
Allow multiple days. The General Staff Building has the Impressionists. Less crowded than main complex. The cats of the Hermitage have their own press office.
