Visited the Hermitage
It was absolutely stunning inside simply due to the wallpaper
It depicts a Greek mythology story
If I was blown away in 2022, think of the visitors 200 years ago.
Very frustrating that no pics allowed in the Hermitage. I think it's BS but I honored the rule

I visited The Hermitage as well. But the one I went to is the largest art gallery in the world, in St. Petersburg, Russia. I’m surprised a museum in the US would copy the name from the original Hermitage. I guess ‘hermitage’ has its own definition.

The tour guide said that it derives from French and kind of means remote country home.
When he built it, Nashville was just a small town a days ride away

He ripped the name off; Catherine the Great founded it three years before he was born, and as an educated man he adopted the term for his own purposes, hoping perhaps to achieve a semblance of class in doing so.

At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.
