Hermitage Museum @hermitage_museum Hermitage means “A place of solitude” It started with Catherine the Great’s personal collection and now it includes the collection of the Russian tsars which were confiscated from their homes during communism. One of the largest collections in the world. There are 3 million pieces. If you viewed each piece for 1 minute 8 hours a day – it would take you 11 years to see all 3 million pieces. #hermitagemuseum #Russia #stpetersburg#Regent25 #regentsevenseasexplorer#h2hssexplorer2017 #h2hart
