The State Hermitage Museum occupies six impressive buildings situated along the embankment of the Neva River in the heart of St. Petersburg. The leading role in this unique architectural complex formed in 18th and 19th centuries belongs to the Winter Palace — the residence of Russian Tsars — built in 1754–1762 upon the project of F. B. Rastrelli.

During almost two and a half centuries one of the largest collections was gathered in the Hermitage. It has about three million works of art and monuments of the world culture from the Stone Age to our days. Nowadays, the Museum uses the modern technologies and creates its digital self-portrait that can be seen in all parts of the world.
