Reviews
"I welcome the new book, My Hermitage: How The Hermitage Survived Tsars, Wars and Revolutions to Become the Greatest Museum in the World , for its erudition, passion and lively history . The first time I visited The Hermitage in St. Petersburg, I dashed for miles, with my guide, in a frenzy to see the fabled Matisse collection, the Rembrandt gallery, the Gold Room (diamond-studded saddles and all the Fabergé pieces), the Peacock Clock, as well as the Raphael loggias, the Van Dycks, the greatest Canalettos, and the Jordan staircase, the Greek vases, the jasper urns, the dazzle of chandeliers and the Dégas and Bonnard paintings, along with Gainsborough and the collection from Houghton Hall. . . I hope The Hermitage is on your list of 'must-see' museums. If so, this is the essential reference that will enrich the hours and days of exploration ." - TheStyleSaloniste.com

Synopsis
In a memoir, the museum's longtime director takes the reader on a private tour of this global treasure. Holding one of the largest collections of Western art in the world, the Hermitage is also a product of Russia and its dramatic history. Founded by Empress Catherine the Great in 1764, the stunning Winter Palace was built to house her growing collection of Old Masters and to serve as a home for the imperial family. Tsars came and went over the years, artworks were acquired and sold, buildings were burned down in terrible fires, and still the collections grew. After the violent upheavals of the Russian Revolution in 1917, the palaces and collections were opened to the public. Now, in an unprecedented collection of illuminating essays, Piotrovsky explores the cultural history of a collection as rich in adventure as art. From fascinating intrigues to revelatory scholarship on the collection's incredible art and artifacts, My Hermitage is a profound and captivating story of art's timelessness and how it brings people together.
