Hermitage-Vyborg Centre
Эрмитаж-Выборг
A Finnish-era art museum built atop the 16th-century Panzerlax Bastion, which regularly hosts works from the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.
The Vyborg Art Museum building, designed by Finnish architect Uno Ullberg and completed in 1930, sits atop the Panzerlax Bastion, a 16th-century Swedish fortification. Its white neoclassical facade faces the bay. Since 2010, the State Hermitage Museum has run the Hermitage-Vyborg exhibition center here, rotating oil paintings, decorative arts and archaeological collections from St. Petersburg each year. The building also houses the Vyborg Art Museum's permanent collection. The bastion terrace itself is a good spot for views over the bay. Check the official website for exhibition dates and ticket prices. A visit takes about 1 hour.
