The event was opened at the Hermitage on September 5 in the museum’s Nikolayevsky Hall and can be seen until January 13, 2019.
The Leiden Collection (www.theleidencollection.com), one of the world’s youngest private art collections, which amazingly happens to be one of the richest and most important collections of Dutch art, is visiting St. Petersburg to enjoy an impressive display at the State Hermitage Museum (www.hermitagemuseum.org).
The exhibition will showcase more than 80 artworks from the Leiden collection, which will be complemented by Dutch masterpieces from the Hermitage’s own funds.
The Leiden collection was first shown internationally at an exhibition at the Louvre Museum in Paris in 2017. It was followed by the exhibitions at the National Museum of China in Beijing with 60 items and the Pushkin Museum of Fine art in Moscow, which featured over 80 pieces.
