New museum offers opportunities for those cruising to or from Amsterdam this summer.
On June 20, 2009, a major new European cultural destination situates itself in Amsterdam.
Hermitage Amsterdam opens its doors to welcome visitors to an elegantly restored 17th-century building that will serve as the only dedicated, independently managed venue in the West of St. Petersburg’s world-reknown State Hermitage Museum.
Hermitage Amsterdam will host the exhibition “At the Russian Court,” a display of more than 1,800 treasures from the St. Petersburg’s Hermitage. The scholarly researched exploration of the opulent material culture, elaborate social hierarchy and richly layered traditions of the Tsarist court at its height in the 19th century will remain on exhibition until January 31, 2010.
Afterward, Hermitage Amsterdam will stage two large-scale, temporary exhibitions each year from St. Petersburg.
