Hermitage Museum

The Hermitage Museum is one of the most important and largest museums in the world. Located in Saint Petersburg, it was built to showcase the power and glory of the Tsars of the Russian Empire. Originally, Queen Catherine collected famous paintings from all over the world, necessitating the creation of rooms to store these artworks and treasures, which were rarely seen by the public. Later, the collections were categorized and opened to the public. The museum houses over 2,700,000 pieces of art, and it would take more than 5 years to see everything. It is recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as the gallery with the most extensive collection of artworks in the world. It is considered one of the most beautiful, oldest, and largest art museums in the world.

Yes, walking for 4-5 hours and only seeing the highlights is still not enough to cover everything.
