Hermitage Rooms at Somerset House, London

The Hermitage Rooms were opened to the public in 2001 and are located in the restored South Building of Somerset House . The splendor of the former Winter Palace has been recreated in miniature, using smoked-glass chandeliers, rich curtaining and marquetry floors. The Hermitage Rooms at Somerset House were earlier used as an exhibition space, and are now designated as the venue for meetings between various institutions in UK and the State Heritage Museum in St. Petersburg.
