The Library of the Hermitage in Leningrad

Abstract

The library of the Hermitage Art Museum in Leningrad has 300,000 volumes on art generally, including the history of art, architecture, and related fields as well as all kinds, branches and types of descriptive art. There are, of course, a considerable number of books on æsthetics and on the theory of art. Everything connected with the world of art, except music and the theatre, is contained in this library. There are even a few books on engineering and analagous topics and there is, as one could expect, a large collection of books in foreign languages about art. The library acts as a reference library for the staff of the Hermitage.
