So much shine and elegance in one place

Several people recommended me to visit the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.

I was overwhelmed! I had never seen so much glamour and luxury in real life. Everything is specially majestic, decorated with lots of gold, parquet floors in noble patterns, and the walls are filled with countless paintings by artists from everywhere. The Hermitage - as I found out - is one of the most important art museums in the world.

I saw tourists walking through the rooms with running cameras :)
