Holding over 3 million objects and with more curators than any other museum, the exhibits go back to Catherine the Great.[3] Celebrating the museum's 250th anniversary in 2014, the film shows how the collection came about, how it survived revolutionary times and what makes the Hermitage Museum unique today.
