Winter Palace Museum, Paintings - Added
The full collection of paintings at the Winter Palace Museum can be difficult to see with only a few paintings out at any particular time. There are small miniature paintings, medium sized paintings, black ground, red ground and textiles. The most eye-catching painting for some visitors might be the floor to ceiling Maharakta Ganapati, framed with full brocade mounts, commissioned by the previous owner of the Winter Palace (Bogd Khan) at the turn of the century to help increase their fortunes and power.
