Tsar Peter had a special relationship with Amsterdam, having lived in the city for several years. He founded the first public museum in Russia, and some of the exhibits were bought by Tsar Peter in Holland. Back then, visitors were encouraged to come to the Hermitage by a free shot of vodka. Nowadays people stand in long queues in order to visit the museum.
