St Petersburg's Hermitage Museum holds 5 works by Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Kandinsky was among the first painters to make fully abstract works, and his canvases — dense with colour, form, and energy — make a compelling case for abstraction as a form of feeling. In person, the scale and vibrancy of his major paintings is difficult to convey in reproduction.

Hermitage Museum
St Petersburg · 5 works 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.
