In this post I decided to write about museums that I've visited. I took this idea from my friend Christina. She wrote on her blog about museums that she liked most, so I got excited to make my own list. Thinking of which ones to choose I end up with 6 ones.
Those museums helped me to gain some insight into the history of different countries and find out more about art and architecture.

First of all I would like to tell about museums of Saint Petersburg. I visited them 5 years ago and it was pretty overwhelming for me to see these places. I would really love to visit them again and surely I will be back one day!
Catherine palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Catherine palace is a former summer residence of the Russian monarchs. The facade of the palace amazed me with its splendour at first sight. It shows all the magnificence of the 17-18th centuries in Russian history. Museums that were someone's houses in the past are my favourite type of museums because they give me a clear view on the way of life in a certain century.
Inside the palace there are gorgeous ballroom with a painted ceiling, luxurious bed chambers, dining room and, of course, a famous amber room. I really enjoyed watching all the sumptuous stuff of the tsar's family.
Luckily I have loads of nice pictures from it, here are some of them:
