Эрмитажный гараж, Imperial garage at State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The red-brick garage building stands within the inner courtyard of the State Hermitage Museum, featuring early 20th-century industrial design elements.
Emperor Nicholas II commissioned architect Nikolai Kramskoy to construct this garage using innovative slag blocks, completing the structure between 1910 and 1911.
The garage reflects the introduction of automobiles into Russian imperial life, marking a transition period in transportation methods at the royal court.
The garage maintains its original purpose as part of the Hermitage Museum's transportation department, following extensive restoration work in 2011.
The building's exterior color matches the Winter Palace's original early 20th-century facade, creating architectural harmony within the museum complex.
