Museums



So it’s a whirlwind tour through Russian literary museums. Since this is probably pretty dull I’ll try to make it quick, but if you’re into Russian literature, it could be TONS OF FUN. So prepare yourself.

But first, here are some more random pictures from the Hermitage. Alisa and I went Sunday, deciding we should find the Secret Room (where all the stuff the Red Army took/stole is and which is not included in their online inventory, it’s mostly a bunch of French stuff taken from the Germans). So we saw that, Titian, part of the Roman exhibit, some other random stuff… Yup. So here are pictures!

Outside the Hermitage:




This made me happy. I miss Latin class...


Adonis:

Depictions of Christ:





(see what I mean about Catholic suffering?)
