The Hermitage Museum

Some in- and outsides of the Hermitage / Winter Palace. We walked about 5km inside, that's about 5% of the visable collection......
So you think the Smithsonian in Washington has a nice collection? Think again. This museum is very impressive, from the rooms and their decoration to the art that's inside them. Being Dutch I've seen a few Rembrandt's, but standing in a room with 25 of them is something different.
