"Some of the museums here are like that too. Particularly Tate Modern and the National Maritime Museum - they're on you like a rash. Others though are fine, especially the V&A.

You need to go to the Hermitage. Not only a splendid art gallery but you can sit(!) and photograph (virtually) anything you want all day.
