The State Hermitage Museum is located in St. Petersburg – the cultural capital of Russia. It is one of the largest museums in the world.
The museum was founded in 1764 by Catherine the Great and has been open to the public since 1852.
Today, the Hermitage is a complex museum. Its main exhibition is located in five buildings situated in the center of St. Petersburg along the Neva river. The main building of the complex is the Winter Palace.
The building of the present (fifth) Winter Palace was built in 1754-1762 by the architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli. The building is in the style of a magnificent Elizabethan Baroque with Rococo elements.
The first thing that catches one’s eye is the splendor and solemnity of the outer shape of the Winter Palace. Along the perimeter of the building above the cornice there are sculptures and vases, which give the building a gorgeous and elegant look.
The three-storey building of the Winter Palace has four wings and a courtyard.
The building’s facades face the Neva river, the Palace Square and the Admiralty. The main facade is cut with an arch of front drive.
Modern palace is made in emerald colours; columns, cornices and window frames are in white; and stucco molding and the rest decor is made in ocher.
Государственный Музей Эрмитаж находится в Санкт-Петербурге – культурной столице России. Он является одним из крупнейших музеев в мире.
Музей был основан Екатериной Великой в 1764 году и в 1852 году был открыт для посещения публики.
Сегодня Эрмитаж – это сложный музейный комплекс. Его основная экспозиция расположена в пяти зданиях, находящихся в центре Санкт-Петербурга вдоль набережной реки Невы. Главное здание комплекса – Зимний дворец.
Здание нынешнего (пятого) Зимнего дворца было построено в 1754-1762 годах архитектором Бартоломео Франческо Растрелли. Здание выполнено в стиле пышного елизаветинского барокко с элементами рококо.
Первое, что бросается в глаза, – это пышность, праздничность наружного облика Зимнего дворца. По периметру здания над карнизом установлены скульптуры и вазы, что придает зданию великолепный и нарядный вид.
Трехэтажное здание Зимнего дворца имеет четыре флигеля и внутренний двор.
Фасады здания обращены к Неве, Дворцовой площади и Адмиралтейству. Главный фасад прорезан аркой парадного проезда.
Современный дворец выполнен в изумрудных тонах; колонны, карнизы и оконные рамы в белом цвете; лепнина и весь декор выполнены в охре.
My favourite city is London. London is the capital of England. London is famous for its historic buildings as St. Paul's Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament and the famous clock Big Ben. Children's favourite place is Hamleys, which is the biggest toy-shop in the world. I want to go London.
