Hermitage Tips

See (and be Seen)

Tip 1

Of course go immediately to the Hermitage and above all buy a ticket for the treasure rooms. Many objects here were featured in exhibitions in Hermitage Amsterdam, like Greek Gold, Nicholas and Alexandra (her jewellery), Art Nouveau (floral vases by Fabergé!)…

Tip 2

See the collection of (human) curiosities assembled by the Dutchman Frederik Ruysch at Kunstkammer on the Neva, opposite the Hermitage.

Tip 3

Visit the tombs of all the tsars in the Peter and Paul Cathedral, and discover the stories about who is and who isn’t buried in their grave.

Tip 4

Repin addicts: go to the Russian Museum (with plenty more Russian realist art).

Tip 5

For those interested in mystic connections with royalty visit the cellar of Yusupov Palace, scene of the crime in the murder of Rasputin by Felix Yusupov. In itself a wonderful palace to visit, with its own theatre full of gilded scrollwork. Who knows, maybe there’s a concert on.
