Hermitage Amsterdam Celebrates 10th Anniversary with 2 Grand Jubilee Exhibitions

Sat Feb 09 2019

Hermitage Amsterdam is a branch museum of the Hermitage Museum of Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is located in the former Amstelhof, a classical style building dated 1681 and set in the historical center of Amsterdam since its opening in June 2009.

In 2019 Hermitage Amsterdam celebrates its 10th anniversary, which will be marked by a whole year of special events, including two major jubilee exhibitions: Treasury! (De schatkamer!) from 2 February to 25 August 2019 and Jewels! (Juwelen!) from 14 September 2019 to 15 March 2020.

Treasury! Masterpieces from the Hermitage

LOT-ART had the pleasure to visit the first of the two anniversary exhibitions - Treasury!, featuring a cross-section of masterpieces from the entire collection of the St Petersburg State Hermitage. Including big names in art history like Bernini, Da Vinci, Fabre, Matisse, Rembrandt and Velázquez.

Also on show are outstanding works of art from cultures dating back to early prehistory (23,000 BC) and from Ancient Egypt, Classical Greece and Rome; as well as antiquities from civilisations as far afield as Siberia, the Middle East and East-Asia. In the main gallery, below a spectacular piece of light art, visitors can enjoy thrilling combinations of works from widely differing times and places. What, for example, links Maarten van Heemskerck’s sixteenth-century Calvary triptych with an image of the Buddha made in twelfth-century China? To find out, visit Treasury! The exhibition is scheduled to run from 2 February to 25 August 2019.

Jewels!

The Hermitage’s fabulous jewellery collection is one of its greatest treasures. Over the centuries it has become the repository of thousands of precious pieces. In the autumn of 2019, hundreds of them will travel to the Netherlands to feature in Jewels! Visitors will encounter flamboyant female rulers like Elizabeth of Russia and Catherine the Great, but also grand dukes and noble families of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The exhibits will reflect the fashions of four centuries: baroque, rococo, neoclassical, empire, art nouveau and modern, also from the 21th century. Jewels! is scheduled to run from 14 September 2019 to 15 March 2020.
