Amsterdam, Day 2 - Hermitage Museum

The Hermitage Amsterdam exhibits the collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. During our visit, the museum is home to two special exhibits.

The first, Alexander, Napoleon and Josephine - A story of friendship, war & art. Unfortunately - no photos! Darn it. The exhibit highlighted the connection between these leaders and Josephine's famous art collection (1763-1814). A real treat.

The second, Portrait Gallery of the Golden Age shows thirty giant 17th century group portraits. The paintings show us regents, civic guards and merchants from the period. It is a fun collection of works with a few added twists to keep a modern day visitor entertained.
