Museum touring

The past few weekends we have been blessed with gorgeous weather, but this last Saturday was a little different as the rain and chilly air returned to St Petersburg. We decided it was good weather to check out a local museum, as you saw on our previous post we were impressed by the Russian State Museum. Here is Nikki in the courtyard across the street from our apartment, showing the return of her winter coat, in June.. Here is Nikki shopping for our next dining room set, fortunately for me the pieces at the Museum are not for sale, or at least not any where near our price range.

The inlaid wood in the floor is simply amazing.

Nikki is admiring the imperial head wear on display.

Like most things in Russia, there is definitely a motif that bigger is better. Here are a few exhibits that truly dwarfed us to display their grandeur.

All in all a great way to spend a rainy Saturday. We are looking forward to our next museum day, the city has many more to offer.
