1. The Hermitage is one of the world’s most universal and unique museums of art and culture. It is situated in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Being the largest fine arts museum in Russia, it contains the world famous collection of the West–European paintings, covering a span of about 700 years (13 – 20 centuries). It also houses the works by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Titian, El Greco, Velasquez, Murillo, as well as paintings of Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Rubens; remarkable French canvas group of the 18 century; impressionist and post–impressionist paintings.
The collections illustrate the art of many countries: Spain, Italy, Holland, Germany, Finland, Britain, Sweden, Denmark and many others.
The museum also includes the European sculpture: Rodin, Michelangelo and many other eminent masters. Besides, it has several departments representing the arts of China, Egypt, India, Greece, Rome, not to mention the Scythian art.
Visitors also admire the collections of tapestry, textiles, weapons, ivories, pottery, porcelain and furniture. They can make a complete and serious study of the art and culture of the past.
Having lost its original meaning (‘hermit’s dwelling’), the name “Hermitage” has gone into our literature and art and is now associated with the biggest treasure-house of the world culture and art.
2. The Tretyakov Gallery. There are many wonderful galleries in our country. The Tretyakov Gallery is the most famous and richest picture gallery both in Russia and abroad. It dates from 1856. It is named after its founder Pavel Tretyakov who began collecting Russian paintings in 1836.
In the late 60-s Tretyakov started collecting canvases by the painters of the 18 and the first half of the 19 centuries. He was the first to appreciate the newest trends in Russian painting. In the 70-s he turned to collecting the portraits of the Russian cultural figures and it was highly appreciated by the Russian public.
His brother Sergey also collected pictures both by the Russian and foreign painters, especially those by the French and Dutch masters.
The brothers’ collections were opened to the public in 1874 as a private museum and soon became very popular. Some years later, in 1892, the brothers donated their picture collection to Moscow. Pavel Tretyakov remained the life-long curator of this gallery.
In 1918 the gallery and collections of paintings were nationalized and became the state museum.
Today the Tretyakov Gallery has got many departments. Some of them are devoted to the great Russian painters Repin, Levitan, Rublev,Serov and many others. Their paintings reflect the history and beauty of Russia, the Russian people lives and soul, give us amazing portraits of many prominent people of our country.
One of the most famous museums in Saint Petersburg is the Russian Museum, a treasure house of national culture. It contains more than 300.000 works of art and covers the period from the 11th century to the present day. The museum possesses one of the finest collections of Russian paintings and the country's largest collection of national sculpture. It also has enormous collections of drawings and examples of decorative and folk-art and ancient Russian art.
The Russian Museum is situated on Arts Square. A great architect and town planner Carlo Rossi designed this square. The Mikhailovsky Palace, which now houses the Russian Museum, was built by Rossi between 1819 and 1825 for Grand Duke Mikhail, the youngest son of Paul I
The thousands-year-old history of Russian art is represented in 130 rooms of the museum starting with the splendid collections of ancient Russian icon by famous Russian icon painters such as Andrei Rublev and Simon Ushakov.
