Museum
The Gosudarstvennyj Ermita or Hermitage Museum, that vast collection of Russian and human art and artefacts, has swollen to fill six buildings, the largest and most appropriate being. Petersburgs Winter Palace, once home of the Tzars. This magnificent Baroque building and its contents fit well into the collection began in the mid 18th century by catherine the Great. Starting with an incredible collegtion of paintings, predominantly from the old and Dutch Masters, the catalogue grew to engulf the best private collections put up for sale and gold-including important pieces from classical cultures from Greece, Rome and Egypt and a huge collection of ancient gold.
The 'Met' is to New York what the Louvre is to Paris. It's an astonishing museum in it's scale and size- the best museum by far in the New World. The collection of European art encompasses all ages from the Romans to Rnoir, with works by all the masters on view. The Met's reach, though, is global: Egypt,Africa, the middle East and Oceania are all repreaented and there is an extensive collection of American art.
