Large Art Museum

Art lovers! Feast your hungry eyes on this!

It is the Winter Palace and State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia; one of the world's largest art museums. Museum_Link With over 2.5 million artworks displayed in the 1,057 halls and rooms, it contains a historic heritage dating back from Empress Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great during the mid 1700s. (Peter the Great being the original private collector from his travels.) It would take approximately 15 miles to actually travel through all the galleries. Perhaps the distance of two Disney parks.
