The Hermitage
DESCRIPTION: The Hermitage... This is an illustrated guide with an interesting and informative description of the halls and galleries of the Hermitage. 200 colour illustrations reproduce the palatial interiors, as well as works of paintings, sculpture, decorative and applied art from the collections of this world-famous museum. The book includes detailed plans showing the location of the state rooms and indicating the best routes for exploring this treasure-house of art and culture. The collections of works of art, gathered together and displayed in the museum known as the Hermitage, are rightly famous around the world. The buildings occupied by the museum today - the Winter Palace, Small, Large and New Hermitages - form one of the most brilliant architectural ensembles in the central part of St Petersburg, an ensemble that was a century and a half in the making. Here in the Hermitage complex history presents itself in all its many aspects; the various facets of the buildings existence merging together. Visitors find themselves at one and at the same time in the exhibition halls of one of the greatest museums on the planet, in a special world of architectural settings designed by some remarkable figures, and in a unique historical monument - the former residence of the Russian Monarchs.
