Day of culture - Hermitage

The first Thursday of every month the Hermitage has free entry, but you still have to do the compulsory one hour kewing. We had done our research with the help of Lonely Planet so we had a plan. The place is grand, 1000 + rooms. The extensive use of marble, gold and chandeliers makes each room beautiful for its architecture as well as the amazing exhibits which include most of the world's great.

This chandelier would easily span 2 m in diameter.
