Museum Shops

The two museum shops are located at the entrances to the two exhibition wings, and each has a floor space of 260 m² (2,800 square feet). The range of items will generally relate to the current exhibition, so that for the inaugural show, At the Russian Court, there will be jewellery, costume books, fans, ball music, and picture postcards, in addition to the exhibition catalogue and other books. The shop will also have a permanent stock of items such as Russian literature, music and films, as well as notebooks and a wide selection of art books. Special Hermitage Amsterdam merchandise will also be available.

During the first exhibition, which will be installed in both wings, the two museum shops will be open simultaneously. Thereafter, they will open alternately. The shop is open to all visitors to the building, not just those attending the exhibition, daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Wednesday to 8 p.m.

Children’s Gift Shop

The Children’s Gift Shop in the Neerlandia building has a range of goods of particular interest to those taking part in the children’s workshops, and parents and grandparents will also find fun, educational and creative items here. For children who would like to have a memento of their visit, there are many affordable articles such as stationery, bookmarks, picture postcards, games, puzzles and Russian souvenirs. There will also be children’s books for various ages. The Hermitage Amsterdam merchandise and catalogues will be on sale, too. For adults, the shop will have artist’s materials and hobby items such as paper, paint and brushes for both amateurs and professionals.

Part of the proceeds from the Children’s Gift Shop will benefit the Hermitage educational programme. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the shop is entered from the terrace of the Hermitage Amsterdam.
