Presented on 3 discs - This 8-hour art-tour documentary (in 18 chapters) takes an in-depth look at the Hermitage Museum (and its contents) which is located in St. Petersburg, Russia. This journey through the world of art (and its long history) is a very informative and educational presentation, looking at architecture, paintings, sculptures, inventions, ornaments, and jewelry that have been collected by the Hermitage over the past 2.5 centuries. It seems that there is neither any Canadian nor American content displayed at the Hermitage. It is all primarily European artwork with a bit of ancient Egypt and China thrown in for good measure. *Note* - Dry narration. No subtitles offered.
