Virtual tour of Soviet (and others) art museums

I though this was quite good  - Virtual tours of some of the worlds "establishment" art museums. I went to the Hermitage pre Glasnost (Andropovs) days and I was told that if you wanted to look at every piece in the Hermitage for 30 seconds it would take you 30 years plus. anyway there's 30 million objects there. It was also at the same time working there that I went to a Burns supper, drinking loads of raspberry vodka, I addressed the Chieftain o the Puddin' Race,  in Tashkent hosted by the local tractor companies ballet company and sat next to a Deep Purple tribute band and sold my best shit kicking boots to the highest bidder so that I could fly home with pissed (armed) Soviet soldiers the next day coming back from Afghanistan. That was an interesting night.  The rendition of Tam O Shanter in Uzbeck was mental !!    Anyway I digress ...
