If you love Impressionism Art, this is definitely the MOST AMAZING place you could find! Wow, i never saw such as large collection, with so many varieties. This is just outstanding and blew my mind. This aside, the building new modern architecture is just wonderful! Do yourself a big favor, come inside to get lost and appreciate art in all his forms and feelings.

The modern art collection of the Hermitage is located in the General Staff Building. The entrance is on the left side facing away from the Winter Palace. One of the greatest collection of the modern art of late 1800‘s to early 1900‘s. No long lines unlike the Winter Palace. You can actually buy tickets to Winter Palace at this Location as well, which is not well known.

The real deal - best collection if you are looking to see art, not glitter and tourists ;-) Great collection of impressionists and other turn of the last century art. Must go in St Petersburg. Start here and forget about the main Ermitage building.

Amazing collection from impressionism to cubism, with the biggest names like Monet or Picasso

The building of the General Staff is now a branch of the Hermitage. Here, all the impressionists, for example. Very nice room, perfect for a museum.

Now part of the extensive Heritage Museum Complex ( use same entry ticket), was created by Carlo Rossi in 1820-30s. There are three levels with many exhibitions on each, ranging from African Art to the works of many great artists ( Picasso, van Gogh, and French Impressionist and Post-Impressionists). Its a good opportunity to see such great works in an uncrowded setting, close up. The only "frustration" was the glass in the frames protecting the art, as it gives reflections of the lights. Downstairs is a bookshop and cafe.

The best collection of impressionist art I’ve ever seen, on their 4th floor. I could not believe my eyes. Room after room after room. All the best artists from Matisse to Van Gogh to Renoir etc etc and pieces I just could not believe. It’s a MUST visit if you like impressionist art.

Great collection on display, esp Impressionism. A bit boring if you’re from St Petersburg and visit the museum quite often; would love to see some interactivity and interesting details that could make the main exhibit lively.

Included in the price of the Hermitage ticket and in itself is amazing. They have paintings of all the famous artists - Monet, Matisse, Rodin, Malevich, Kandinsky- you name it, they’ll likely have a room dedicated to that artist. Building a lot more modern inside than the Hermitage and the focus is really in the art. Ranks up there with the Louvre, Uffizi etc.

Unforgettable, fantastic, wonderful modern museum. I'll never forget the time I experienced it.

The arch of the General Staff and the new wing are simply wonderful The Hermitage is a real pearl. it is worth going here definitely and more than once! I went 3 times for last year and I want more! getting into the new wing you pay for the entrance to one part of the Hermitage. but you don’t have enough time of the day to go through it. museum is very huge and amazing

Absolutely amazing! This museum hosts some of Degas work from "dancer series", as well as Vlaminck, Cross, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, Picasso, Pissaro, and Kandinsky. I spent 2 days here and still needed more time. Such a great exhibition in just third floor of the museum. On first and second floor, you can enjoy contemporary art, statues, African sculptures, and modern Russian art. I would recommend the online ticket to pass the queueing.

A welcome respite from the tour group hell across the square at the Winter Palace. Peaceful, airy, relaxing. Difficult to find the exhibitions which mostly seem to occupy the 3rd and 4th floors. Seems to be quite empty with a lot of rooms having no exhibits... I wonder if we were there in between shows or if this is the regular state.

It's an exhibition hall for some Hermitage museum collections. Two story full of arts and n of need to wait for admission like in the main Hermitage building. French painters and some other exhibitions have moved here.

Very impressive building, lovely combination of old and modern. Immaculate condition.

Modern, elegant, well designed. Excellent addition to the State Hermitage Museum.
