At The Russian Court
The Hermitage in Amsterdam opens at its new location with a spectacular exhibition of over 1800 items from the Hermitage in St Petersburg. The rich and valuable collection shows the palace and its protocol in the 19th century and covers the life of six czars: from Paul I, the son of Catherine the Great, to Nicholas II, the last czar. Among the court paintings, furniture, costumes, jewellery and dinner services are the Romanov throne and the last czarina's grand piano.
Hermitage, Amsterdam until January 31.
