They have been showing marvelous collections of ancient and modern works of art, Dutch and Flemish paintings from Hermitage, Impressionists and post-Impressionists’ masterpieces, Russian church art treasuries, porcelain sets and a lot more.

In 2019 to mark the 10-year history of Hermitage Amsterdam treasuries from both main complex and repository of St Petersburg Hermitage will travel to Amsterdam. They will include works by such outstanding masters as Rembrandt, Bernini, Da Vinci, Fabre, Matisse and others. Furthermore, there will be pre-historical works of art from Ancient Greece, Rome, Ancient Egypt on display.

The exhibition is called “Treasury! Masterpieces of the Hermitage”. It will last from 2nd February till 25th August.

And these days Hermitage discussed the future of another one-Hermitage- Barcelona foundation. It seems to become a very interesting and ambitious project.
