In 2009, the Hermitage Amsterdam was officially opened by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and the then Russian interim president, Dmitry Medvedev. In the following years, more than a dozen lavishly staged exhibitions were held there, filled with exhibits from the immense depots of the Russian Hermitage, which, with more than three million items, is one of the largest and richest museums in the world.The Russian Saint Petersburg Hermitage Museum once operated a branch in Amsterdam. Russia’s war on Ukraine saw that partnership end and the museum renamed. Now Hermitage and the H’ART Museum have officially separated. Despite the circumstances, it looks like a clean break. As of September 1, the Amsterdam museum officially bears a new name, the H’ART Museum. Do you think that the war in Ukraine has taught the world how to work towards independence ?
