The Hermitage is a museum in a palace - the Winter Palace of the Tsars. Initially based in a museum wing with the decor of a palace, it was allowed to fill the whole magnificent baroque building after the Revolution. The collections, begun by Catherine the Great in 1764, had reached one million pieces by 1917. The Soviet period saw this figure rise to three million, extending the range of the collections to include more Oriental art, more Russian artefacts and a whole range of archaeological exhibits. It has also extended geographically, taking over the Menshikov Palace in 1968, the museum of the Imperial Porcelain factory in 1994, the eastern wing of the General Staff Building (800 rooms and five internal courtyards) in 2014. A large new open storage facility on the edge of town, bursting with fascinating material, opened in 2003 - with an extension to contain a library and a costume museum now under construction. There are also branches in Amsterdam, Kazan, Vyborg, Omsk, Ekaterinburg and Vladivostok. It is the largest museum in the world.
