Cruise reviews of our vacation on the Oosterdam
Russia - St. Petersburg - The Hermitage Museum
I have so many pictures from the Hermitage museum that I've divided today into two pages, so for more pictures of the Hermitage museum, go to the next page.
My pictures start with the dock where our cruise ship, the Oosterdam, docked and then I have some shots taken from the bus window as were drove to our destination. Our second day in St. Petersburg, Russia was devoted to a trip to the museum, so there aren't any photos other than on the trips to and from and at the Hermitage.
I obviously can't provide photographs that do the art we viewed any justice, but I can give you an idea of what we saw and what you might expect should you visit there in the future.
