I envy you to a large degree

I wish I could do such a trip myself again... but most likely that will not happen.

One thing I found works the best, is to travel way off season. In February the paintings look exactly the same, but you don't have fifty Japanese tourists arranged in a solid phalange with their cameras on the ready, like the 20 foot Macedonian pikes... blocking your access to all works.

The truly grandiose ones, like the Hermitage, you need to cover in several days, as the overloads sets in quickly. The rest of your days can be spent seeking out and consuming cheap beer and caviar, and the local bubbly is indeed passable, considering its price.

And I am sure you realize the child can't be just thrown there - he should be well prepared. Nothing like recognizing the painting that you already know so much about!
