HERMITAGE MUSEUM

In my opinion the Hermitage museum is one of the best museums I have ever heard, it located in Russia in Saint Petersburg and it is the second – largest museum in the world. It attracted 4,956,524 visitors in 2019, ranking it eighth among the most visited art museum in the world. It is a noticeably big and glamorous building. It has a variety of beautiful and special exhibits for every century. It has beautiful sculptures, paintings, jewelries e.t.c. I did a virtual tour and I read in Wikipedia for this museum. It is fantastic and has a remarkably interesting history. The museum has an amazing homepage, it guides you uniquely even if you are unexperienced . In my Power Point I mentioned some of my favorite exhibits. I hope at future I will have the opportunity to travel to Russia and visit this special museum.
