Greetings from Saint Petersburg. This is your tour guide Ali in Saint Petersburg. I was born in India and came to Saint Petersburg 7 years back. This amazing city has stolen my heart therefore I decided to be here forever. I know my city and its places very well so I can show you amazing Saint Petersburg as no one can.
INTRODUCTION. Hermitage is a museum of art and culture in Saint Petersburg. The second-largest art museum in the world. It was founded in 1764 when Empress Catherine the Great acquired an impressive collection of paintings from the Berlin merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky. It has been open to the public since 1852.
HERMITAGE. Hermitage Museum is one of the greatest assets of the Russian Federation and is not only the most important museum in Saint Petersburg, but also one of the largest art museums in the world. Hermitage consists of six historic buildings located along the banks of the Neva river. The heart of the Hermitage is the Winter Palace (the former residence of the kings) Of course, the tour of the Hermitage gives only an initial idea of this largest museum in Russia and Europe, because as they say, if one sees all the exhibits in the Hermitage and stops at each exhibit only one minute, it will take as much as 11 years to complete. We will visit the main collection of the museum (without 3rd floor impressionists) So enjoy your Hermitage visit and your guide will give you all detailed information and tell you amazing facts and stories about this astonishing marvelous museum.
FINISH. Hope that you really enjoyed your Hermitage visit.
