Editing Hermitage Museum (section)

==Buildings==
Originally, the only building housing the collection was the "Small Hermitage". Today, the Hermitage Museum encompasses many buildings on the Palace Embankment and its neighbourhoods. Apart from the Small Hermitage, the museum now also includes the "Old Hermitage" (also called "Large Hermitage"), the "New Hermitage", the "[[Hermitage Theatre]]", and the "[[Winter Palace]]", the former main residence of the Russian tsars. In recent years, the Hermitage has expanded to the [[General Staff Building (Saint Petersburg)|General Staff Building]] on the [[Palace Square]] facing the Winter Palace, and the [[Menshikov Palace]].<ref>{{cite web
