As with other pages in our collection of photography-related links, this section
scarcely begins to scratch the surface of the available material. It serves,
however, as a starting point for personal exploration. (Try using Google, or
one of the other major search engines to follow your own avenues of interest. - One
'successful' link inevitably leads to others.) If our list appears to be
dominated by American collections, we make no apology as it is simply an accurate
reflection of their dominant presence on the Web. |

St Petersburg Pictures Gallery |
| Location: |
St Petersburg, Russia |
| URL: |
http://www.spb.su/000/spb/index.en.html |
| Notes: |
Yes, it's true. St Petersburg (formerly known as
'Stalingrad' and, before that, as 'St Petersburg'!) has a very significant presence on the
web and it is only a mouse-click away! Visit the 'Pictures' section and the
'Galleries and Museums' sub-section, under 'Arts and Culture'. Very well worth a
visit. |

sadly no online display of images |
