Tips from locals
FIRST museum to visit! The second-largest art museum in the world, it was founded in 1764 when Empress Catherine the Great acquired an impressive collection of paintings from the Berlin merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky.
Extremely huge museum with variety of masterpieces for every choice: from paintings grouped by different epochs and countries, to middle-age artefacts and other kinds of art.
