Hermitage Museum - Amsterdam or St. Petersburg?


One of the most popular museums in the world is the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The museum's collection has more than 3,000,000 (yes that's 3 million) pieces. They have such a large collection that more pieces are in storage than are on display. Have too much art? Why not open a new museum? That's exactly what has happened. Starting this year the Hermitage has opened a satellite museum in Amsterdam. Every six months a new collection will premiere in Amsterdam. Just recently opened, it has already become one of the most popular museums in Amsterdam. So if you are going to Russia or the Netherlands and would like a private tour at the Hermitage, please let us know.
