The Hermitage

St Petersburg is home to one of the greatest art galleries that not that many people have heard of. The Hermitage houses some amazing works by some very talented folk. We spent about five hours wandering the gallery, which is inside what used to be the Winter Palace for the Russian Royals. I think we only managed to see about a quarter of what the gallery had to offer in that time and Trent and I managed to lose each other for about an hour just in the Italian artists' section.

The amazing ceiling

Some guy (yes I forgot to take notes) that looks good in black and white

Trent admiring Matisse's Dancers (yes, left open to comment)

So much detail to take in
