Peterhof is the grand palace nestled on the shore of the Gulf of Finland and home to the most spectacular summer estate of Russian Czar, Peter the Great. The concept was originated from France's Versailles Palace. Nevertheless, Peter populated the palace with numerous fountains which were the state of art during his era.

Winter Palace, which also houses the State Hermitage Museum comes with a collection of original 18th century art pieces by Empress Catherine the Great.
Actually, it's a pretty interesting phenomenon in museums when the grand masterpieces will get all the attention and visitors would try their very best to take pictures of the piece that is security behind the glass. Just wondering why do they bother to take the pieces when they know what they take would never look as good as those in the postcards available at the museum shop.
From the size of the cloakroom, we can imagine how huge the museum is...
