THE WINTER PALACE and STATE HERMITAGE MUSEUM, St PETERSBURG, RUSSIA
(See also St ISAAC'S CATHEDRAL The symbolic site of the October 1917 Revolution, and arguably the most iconic building in the city, the Winter Palace started life in 1764 as the primary residence of the Tsars and is today the main part of one of the world's greatest art museums, with over 3 million exhibits. (4 June 2010)
Museum of medical horror in Philadelphia
The Mutter Museum of the History of Medicine in Philadelphia is one of the main contenders for the role of the most eccentric and macabre museums in the world. It was founded in 1787 at a local college. The museum has a unique collection of most terrible physical abnormalities that can happen to a human body.
Thomas Mutter, the creator of these blood-chilling, but incredibly interesting collections, wanted to prove that medicine --was both science and art. The museum displays an amazing exhibition of deformed bones, internal organs, wax models of various pathologies and many other incarnations of most horrible nightmares.
Many compare the American museum to the Museum of Curiosities in Russia's St. Petersburg. Not all of its artifacts are real: many deformities and body parts are made of wax, but preserved bodies and organs strike imagination, showing visitors a realistic picture of life. Looking at some of the displayed exhibits can be hard. This is a heartbreaking sight and visitors may experience a psychological shock.
But the picture of the anomalies of the human body is extremely attractive from an intellectual standpoint. It provides an answer to one of the most interesting questions about the nature of man.

Saint Petersburg, Russia - Hermitage Museum (2018)
The State Hermitage Museum (Russian: Госуда́рственный Эрмита́ж, tr. Gosudárstvennyj Ermitáž) is a museum of art and culture in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The second-largest in the world, it was founded in 1764 when Empress Catherine the Great acquired an impressive collection of paintings from the Berlin merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky. The museum celebrates the anniversary of its founding each year on 7 December, Saint Catherine's Day. It has been open to the public since 1852.
Its collections, of which only a small part is on permanent display, comprise over three million items (the numismatic collection accounts for about one-third of them), including the largest collection of paintings in the world. The collections occupy a large complex of six historic buildings along Palace Embankment, including the Winter Palace, a former residence of Russian emperors. Apart from them, the Menshikov Palace, Museum of Porcelain, Storage Facility at Staraya Derevnya, and the eastern wing of the General Staff Building are also part of the museum. The museum has several exhibition centers abroad. The Hermitage is a federal state property. Since July 1992, the director of the museum has been Mikhail Piotrovsky.
Of the six buildings in the main museum complex, five—namely the Winter Palace, Small Hermitage, Old Hermitage, New Hermitage, and Hermitage Theatre—are open to the public. The entrance ticket for foreign tourists costs more than the fee paid by citizens of Russia and Belarus. However, entrance is free of charge the first Thursday of every month for all visitors, and free daily for students and children. The museum is closed on Mondays. The entrance for individual visitors is located in the Winter Palace, accessible from the Courtyard.
Saint Petersburg (Russian: Санкт-Петербу́рг, tr. Sankt-Peterburg, IPA: [ˈsankt pʲɪtʲɪrˈburk] (About this sound listen)) is Russia's second-largest city after Moscow, with five million inhabitants in 2012. An important Russian port on the Baltic Sea, it has a status of a federal subject (a federal city).
Situated on the Neva River, at the head of the Gulf of Finland on the Baltic Sea, it was founded by Tsar Peter the Great on May 27 [O.S. 16] 1703. On 1 September 1914, the name was changed from Saint Petersburg to Petrograd (Russian: Петрогра́д, IPA: [pʲɪtrɐˈgrat]), on 26 January 1924 to Leningrad (Russian: Ленингра́д, IPA: [lʲɪnʲɪnˈgrat]), and on 7 September 1991 back to Saint Petersburg. Between 1713 and 1728 and in 1732–1918, Saint Petersburg was the capital of Imperial Russia. In 1918, the central government bodies moved to Moscow.
Saint Petersburg is one of the modern cities of Russia, as well as its cultural capital. The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments constitute a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Saint Petersburg is home to the Hermitage, one of the largest art museums in the world. Many foreign consulates, international corporations, banks and businesses have offices in Saint Petersburg.
Saint Petersburg hosted the games of 2018 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2020.

While it may be one of the world's youngest art collections, it happens to contain the most important pieces of Dutch art in the world. After its debut at Paris' Louvre Museum in 2017, the Leiden Collection then made its way to the National Museum of China in Beijing. And now, the Russian city of St. Petersburg is hosting to this extraordinary exhibit.

SOT, Neil MacGregor, director of the British Museum (in English): This sculpture is a birthday present, the loan of this sculpture, a birthday present from the British Museum to the Hermitage. The British Museum is five years older than the Hermitage so we're almost twins and we wanted to make a great gesture of friendship to our old friend the Hermitage. And we wanted to do it now because, as the political relations are difficult, the friendship between the museums is even more important.

The Romanov dynasty and the hunt for Russia's incredible tsar's treasure
By tracing the way, in which the royal treasures were appreciated in the nearly 100 years since the murder of Tsar Nicholas II and his family in 1918, we get a very intimate and special look at Russia and its heritage – past and present.
With the upcoming 400th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty in 2013, we are going on a search for what is left of one of the once wealthiest ruling families, its members, private treasures and jewels. We also follow the path of the state's gold reserves, which went on a mysterious train journey after the Russian Revolution in 1917. We will meet members of the Romanov family, collectors and experts, follow them to archives, museums, private collections and auctions, and will even go on a diving expedition, looking for the Tsar’s gold. By tracing the way, in which the royal treasures were appreciated in the nearly 100 years since the murder of Tsar Nicholas II and his family in 1918, we get a very intimate and special look at Russia and its heritage - past and present.

SISLEY, Alfred (1839-1899) - Paintings in the Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Alfred Sisley (1839-1899) was an Impressionist landscape painter who was born and spent most of his life in France, but retained British citizenship. He was the most consistent of the Impressionists in his dedication to painting landscape en plein air (i.e., outdoors). He deviated into figure painting only rarely and, unlike Renoir and Pissarro, found that Impressionism fulfilled his artistic needs.
Sisley was born in Paris to affluent British parents. His father, William Sisley, was in the silk business, and his mother, Felicia Sell, was a cultivated music connoisseur.
In 1857, at the age of 18, Sisley was sent to London to study for a career in business, but he abandoned it after four years and returned to Paris in 1861. From 1862, he studied at the Paris École des Beaux-Arts within the atelier of Swiss artist Marc-Charles-Gabriel Gleyre, where he became acquainted with Frédéric Bazille, Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Together they would paint landscapes en plein air rather than in the studio, in order to capture the transient effects of sunlight realistically. This approach, innovative at the time, resulted in paintings more colourful and more broadly painted than the public was accustomed to seeing. Consequently, Sisley and his friends initially had few opportunities to exhibit or sell their work. Their works were usually rejected by the jury of the most important art exhibition in France, the annual Salon. During the 1860s, though, Sisley was in a better financial position than some of his fellow artists, as he received an allowance from his father.
In 1866, Sisley began a relationship with Eugénie Lesouezec (1834–1898; also known as Marie Lescouezec), a Breton living in Paris. The couple had two children: son Pierre (born 1867) and daughter Jeanne (1869). At the time, Sisley lived not far from Avenue de Clichy and the Café Guerbois, the gathering-place of many Parisian painters.
In 1868, his paintings were accepted at the Salon, but the exhibition did not bring him financial or critical success; nor did subsequent exhibitions.
In 1870, the Franco-Prussian War began; as a result, Sisley's father's business failed, and the painter's sole means of support became the sale of his works. For the remainder of his life he would live in poverty, as his paintings did not rise significantly in monetary value until after his death. Occasionally, however, Sisley would be backed by patrons, and this allowed him, among other things, to make a few brief trips to Britain.
The first of these occurred in 1874, after the first independent Impressionist exhibition. The result of a few months spent near London was a series of nearly twenty paintings of the Upper Thames near Molesey, which was later described by art historian Kenneth Clark as a perfect moment of Impressionism.
Until 1880, Sisley lived and worked in the country west of Paris; then he and his family moved to a small village near Moret-sur-Loing, close to the forest of Fontainebleau, where the painters of the Barbizon school had worked earlier in the century. Here, as art historian Anne Poulet has said, the gentle landscapes with their constantly changing atmosphere were perfectly attuned to his talents. Unlike Monet, he never sought the drama of the rampaging ocean or the brilliantly colored scenery of the Côte d'Azur.
In 1881, Sisley made a second brief voyage to Great Britain.
He died on 29 January 1899 of throat cancer in Moret-sur-Loing at the age of 59, a few months after the death of his wife. His body was buried at Moret-sur-Loing Cemetery.

New show marks Russia museum milestone
The Hermitage, founded by Catherine the Great in 1764 in Russia, is celebrating its 250th anniversary with the opening of a new gallery displaying digital art. The imperial residence of the czars, also known as the Winter Palace, was stormed by the Bolsheviks in 1917 at the start of the revolution. Now, it is the stately repository of Russia's rich cultural heritage, housing more than three million pieces of art collected from around the globe. But it has also become a target of sophisticated art thieves. Al Jazeera's Peter Sharp reports from St. Petersburg.

Санкт Петербург и первый необычный музей России
В Санкт-Петербурге Петр I заложил первый музей России, выкупив необычные колекции в Европе. Каждый экземпляр удивителен и уникален. Необычный музей носит имя своего основателя - Петра Великого и называется музеем антропологии и этнографии (Кунсткамера).
Открытие музея положило началу организации знаний и науки в России.
Важное место уделяли изучению аномалий развития тела и организмов.
В 18 веке петербургская Кунсткамера стала Государственным учреждением.
Музей активно пополнялся экспонатами от Древнего Рима до побед в Северной войне.
В музее стали изучать флору и фауну России, этнографию и археологию.
Здесь трудился Ломоносов. В помещениях центральной башни находятся музей М.В. Ломоносова и знаменитый глобус (Готторпский глобус).

Alexey Titarenko - Magic of St. Petersburg (1991-2009) - Photography
Alexey Titarenko was born in Leningrad in 1962.
Black and White Magic of St. Petersburg Series ...Once, I came across a book, which for some reason slipped my attention in the past. It was Fjodor Dostoevsky early stories. . . I opened the book at random; the story White Nights captivated me so fully that I kept reading it over and over again. Dostoevsky seemed to have read my thoughts. Deeply inspired by this piece, I decided to make a new series of photographs based on the story. For the epigraph, I took the following citation from the story: There are, Nastenka, though you may not know it, strange nooks in Petersburg. It seems as though the same sun that shines for all Petersburg people does not peep into those spots, but some other different, new one, as if bespoken expressly for those nooks, and it throws a different light on everything. In these corners, dear Nastenka, a quite a different life is lived, quite unlike the life that is surging round us. But such as perhaps exists in some unknown realm, not among us in our serious, overserious, time. Well, that life is a mixture of something purely fantastic, feverently ideal, with something (alas! Nastenka) dingly prosaic and ordinary, not to say incredibly vulgar・Listen Nastenka. Let me tell you that in these corners live strange people ・dreamers.*
Yet another source of my inspiration was Brahm`s Violin Concerto.
From the interview for SHOTS magazine, 2005
* Translated from Russian by Constance Garnett. In: Dostoevsky, Fyodor. White Nights. London: Heinemann, 1970, p. 15
At age 15, he became the youngest member of the independent photo club Zerkalo (Mirror). He graduated from the Department of Cinematic and Photographic Art at Leningrad's Institute of Culture in 1983. His series of collages and photomontages Nomenklatura of Signs (first exhibited in 1988 in Leningrad) is a commentary on the Communist regime as an oppressive system hat converts citizens into mere signs. In 1989, Nomenklatura of Signs was included in Photostroyka, a major show of new Soviet photography that toured the US.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 he produced several series of photographs about the human condition of the Russian people during this time and the suffering they endured throughout the twentieth century. To illustrate links between the present and the past, he created powerful metaphors by introducing long exposure and intentional camera movement into street photography. The most well known series of this period is City of Shadows. In some images urban landscapes reiterate the Odessa Steps (also known as the Potemkin Stairs) scene from Sergei Eisenstein's film The Battleship Potemkin. Inspired by the music of Dmitri Shostakovich and the novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky, he also translated Dostoevsky's version of the Russian soul into sometimes poetic, sometimes dramatic pictures of his native city, Saint Petersburg.
Titarenko's St. Petersburg body of work from the 1990s won him worldwide recognition. In 2002 the International Photography Festival at Arles, France presented this work at the Reattu Museum in the exhibition, Les quatres mouvements de St. Petersburg curated by Gabriel Bauret. In 2005, the French-German TV Channel Arte produced a 30-minute documentary about Titarenko entitled Alexey Titarenko: Art et la Maniere.
Titarenko's prints are subtly crafted in the darkroom. Bleaching and toning add depth to his nuanced palette of grays, rendering each print a unique interpretation of his experience and imbuing his work with a personal and emotive visual character. This particular beauty was recently emphasized during the exhibition of his prints from his Havana series at the Getty Museum (Los Angeles, May-October 2011).
His works are in the collections of major European and American museums, including The State Russian Museum (St. Petersburg); The Getty Museum (Los Angeles); the Philadelphia Museum of Fine Art; George Eastman House (Rochester, N.Y.); the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston); The Museum of Fine Arts (Columbus, Ohio); the Museum of Fine Arts (Houston); the Museum of Photographic Arts (San Diego); the Davis Museum and Cultural Center at Wellesley College (Mass.); the European House of Photography (Paris); the Southeast Museum of Photography (Daytona Beach, Fla.); the Santa Barbara Museum of Fin Arts (Cal.); the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University (N.J.); the Reattu Museum of Fine Arts (Arles); and the Musee de l'Elysee Museum for Photography (Lausanne).

Museums' Night in Saint Petersburg
Normally in the museums it is not allowed to touch the exhibits, not to mention putting them on, for example chivalrous armour. During that only night we got an opportunity not only to see the military uniform and weapon, but to put it on, to try ourselves in archery and arbalest shooting, to learn pieces of the military weapons and equipment. As to me, I tried to shoot with revolver Walther P-08 produced in 1908.
