The Hermitage
Foundation UK
represents The State Hermitage Museum in the UK, facilitating cultural exchange and fundraising to support a range of Hermitage projects: exhibitions in the UK and St Petersburg, study visits to the UK for Hermitage research staff, the translation of Hermitage collection catalogues into English and other projects considered appropriate by the Trustees. We also run a Friends organisation that is closely linked to the Friends of the Hermitage in St Petersburg and that organises exciting special events in the UK.
Our projects cover everything from Antiquity to the present day. Achievements in 2016 included funding the translation of two catalogues of Greek vases in the prestigious Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum series, our best-ever fundraising Gala Banquet, which raised funds for the Hermitage 20/21 Project. There have been visits for our Friends to blockbuster exhibitions and to some less well-known sights of London. And of course we continue our Visiting Curators scheme - now in its sixteenth year. So far in 2017 there have been further visits to exhibitions and fairs, with more to come!
