Enlightened art
In the centre of St. Petersburg, the beating heart of a country that has experienced historic changes and bloody revolutions, there rises the Ermitage Museum, one of the most important in the world. The collection of over three million works of art hosted in the museum is one of a kind for both its quality and its richness. Interesting sections of the museum are dedicated to antiques of different eras from all over the world.
Rather than for its exhibits, the museum charms tourists for the beauty of the architectural complex it is hosted in. This is a work of art per se, that originally belonged to the Winter Palace, the imperial residence that hosted czars’ families for two centuries, until the October Revolution.
The beauty of the buildings gives the museum a unique and fascinating aspect, which is enhanced by a valuable, effective lighting system at night.
To keep on working effectively, this sophisticated lighting system needs to be carefully and constantly serviced. This task is carried out with great expertise by Lensvet, the company that has been in charge of lighting both the museum and the most important areas in St. Petersburg since 1934.
