Overview

The Hermitage Museum Foundation (USA) contributes to the preservation and promotion of the rich cultural heritage of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, its more than three million objects and the Museum’s historic buildings.

The Foundation also hosts educational outreach programs and publications and supports exhibitions and organizes an annual White Nights tour to the Museum. The unique resources of the Hermitage, its Director, Dr. Piotrovsky and the leadership of the HMF combine to provide an exceptional opportunity to support the full spectrum of Russian-American cultural diplomacy.
