Get a private, insider’s view of one of the world’s greatest art collections at the magnificent Hermitage Museum. The museum boasts some 3 million works of art and historic artifacts precious to Russia’s heritage. Only a fraction are on public display; the rest are locked away in a carefully monitored facility, which was closed to visitors—until now. Join a local guide for a tour of the museum's collection, including both masterpieces and the Hermitage's grand spaces such as the magnificent Jordan Staircase. Then head by motor coach to the city suburbs and step behind closed doors with your guide for privileged access to the restoration and exhibit center. See how the Hermitage stores their growing collection of exhibits and examine some of the priceless objets d'art gifted to Russian Royalty by countries from around the World, and collection of imperial carriages. Lunch will be served in the staff canteen.
