I am fortunate enough to have visited the Hermitage, in 1968, when I was a student. By then, having spent a year in Paris and taken various visitors from Ceylon on tours of it, I was a veteran of the Louvre, but I still remember how impressed I was by the vastness of the place and its understated but opulent elegance.

From the Hermitage Museum Website. Click to access. Definitely worthwhile and rewarding.
