Hermitage.

To begin with, I want to say that I have long been attracted to St. Petersburg, as the cultural capital of the country.That is why I will tell you about the most popular building in St. Petersburg, almost its trademark (визитная карточка).The Hermitage is a museum founded in 1764, when Catherine the Great began to search for and have works of art. Today, the Hermitage is the second largest art museum in the world after the Louvre, with a collection of over three million exhibits (экспонаты).Technically, the Hermitage occupies (занимать) six buildings, although the bulk (основная часть) of the museum (the building that most people associate with the museum) is located in the Winter Palace, which once served as the home of the Russian emperors (императоры).In addition (помимо) to exhibits of French neoclassical and impressionist art, Flemish Baroque and Italian Renaissance, the museum houses an impressive collection of Russian art from the 11th to 19th centuries, a collection of 19th century Egyptian antiquities (Египетская старина) and a hall in which prehistoric (доисторический) art exists. The Hermitage has the largest collection of paintings in the world, spanning (охватывающий) many countries and centuries.
