The Hermitage in St Petersburg



This was amazing to see and these are just a few photos. It is really sensory overload and we did not have the best guide. But what we couldn't get over is that with the original Da Vinci's and Monets and all the other priceless pieces, the windows were open, direct sun on these paintings and oil paintings behind glass. You did not have to wear the protective booties and the inlaid wood pictures were from the floor, yet we went to places with scared up wood floors and had to wear the booties.
