Projects of the State Hermitage Museum

The Creation of the Staraya Derevnya Restoration and Storage Centre

The creation of the Restoration and Storage Centre (37A, Zausadebnaya Street) which comprises five buildings (the museum depository, the building holding exhibitions and lectures, the restoration building, the engineering building and the administrative building) is the primary objective of the programme for the State Hermitage Museum reconstruction and development. The project was initiated due to the necessity to remove the number of storage facilities and workshops from the overloaded depositories of the museum's historical buildings, where storage facilities do not meet up-to-date requirements.
