Things You'll Only See In Russia

The Cats of the Hermitage Museum

If you don't like cats, then the Hermitage Museum might not be the place for you. The museum itself is a gorgeous piece of Russian history, but there's also another main attraction: the 70 cats that have called this place their home. These cats do way more good than harm. They deal with the nasty pests that would end up ruining the priceless artwork in the building, so the owners decided to keep them around. Cats have been guarding this museum since the 1700s.
