Reviews

"The Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, which began as Catherine II's imperial collection in the Winter Palace, is on the bucket list of most art lovers. Whether you've been or never been, this collection is a must have. Two voluptuous volumes cover 250 years of the history and treasures found in one of the world's most beautiful buildings." ~Post-Gazette.com
