The General Staff Building of the State Hermitage
It was a former Palace for Russian Empire built in 1820 – 1830 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The newly restored building has been transformed to the State Hermitage Museum. The new East Wing of the General Staff Building was restored to preserve the historical structure, while the interior design was contemporary. The Museum has attracted many visitors and tourists after its reopening, not only from overseas but from St. Petersburg as well.
