Ugh. I’m missing out on another great exhibition. I was fascinated with the Russian Czars (and their offspring) when I was a teenager (specifically Anastasia Romanov). And this summer…75 great paintings….
Ailina, The works of art belonging to the Russian Czars and personal belongings of Anastasia Romanov are on permanent display in the Hermitage in St Petersburg. So instead of coming to Amsterdam, book a trip to St Petersburg
