St Petersburg's Hermitage Museum holds 1 work by Michelangelo (1475–1564) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
As a painter, Michelangelo's surviving works are few but extraordinary; the Sistine Chapel ceiling must be seen in situ to understand its physical and psychological scale. The panel paintings in Florence reveal the obsessive draftsmanship that underpinned everything he made.
Hermitage Museum
St Petersburg · 1 work on display
The Hermitage is one of the largest museums in the world, housed in the former Winter Palace and five connected buildings on the Neva embankment. The collection spans antiquity to the 20th century; the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist rooms on the third floor are among the finest anywhere.
Planning your visit to St Petersburg
The Hermitage occupies six buildings — plan a full day and accept you will see only a fraction. The museum is on the Neva embankment (metro: Admiralteyskaya or Nevsky Prospekt). Audio guides are strongly recommended; the scale of the collection is overwhelming without orientation.
