The Military Gallery (Russian: Военная галерея) is a gallery of the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The gallery is a setting for 332 portraits of generals who took part in the Patriotic War of 1812. The portraits were painted by George Dawe and his Russian assistants Alexander Polyakov (1801–1835), a serf, and Wilhelm August Golicke.
The top-lit, barrel-vaulted hall in which the gallery is accommodated was designed by architect Carlo Rossi and constructed from June to November 1826. It replaced several small rooms in the middle of the main block of the Winter Palace - between the White Throne Hall and the Greater Throne Hall, just a few steps from the palace church. The gallery was opened in a solemn ceremony on 25 December 1826.

Small and quiet member of the Hermitage campus. Entrance is via the Embankment. There are some examples of rooms of Peter 1 with a number of his possessions. There is also a life size wax figure that was created in the days following Peter's death. There is a video at the entrance, however it seemed to only be in Russian. There are cards available at the entrance in various languages for use in the museum.

Неплохо . Один раз сходить можно .Внутри ооочень мало что можно посмотреть так что на все про все вам уйдет там не больше 20 минут . Студентам бесплатно . Я бы рекомендовала лучше сходить в Музей Фаберже .

Как уже писали, отдельно ходить не стоит, а вот как дополнение к основному билету, то да. Сами экспозиции простые, но если с вами экскурсовод, а они тут очень увлеченные своей работой, то становится очень интересно

За отдельные деньги ходить не стоит, а в составе комплексного билета в довесок сойдёт, мин на 20.

Сохранилось только несколько небольших залов, хорошо, правда, отреставрированных. Экскурсии так себе.

Small exhibition and poor information

Lujo sin precedentes. La vida de los zares y habitación de Pedro el Grande. Forma parte del complejo del Museo Hermitage. Imperdible

Впечатления не очень. Есть минусы. * В очереди за билетами приходится стоять 2 часа и более. * После посещения создалось впечатление что дворец обворовали а назад востановить не смогли.
