Matisse to Malevich

Pioneers of modern art from the Hermitage

6 March 2010 - 17 September 2010

As well as Old Masters, the Hermitage has early modern art from the end of the 19th century and early 20th century. This kind of art was collected mainly by private individuals. After the October Revolution of 1917 many works ended up in the Hermitage. The exhibition will present an outstanding selection from this surprisingly rich collection.

Alexander the Great. The Road to the East

18 September 2010 - Spring 2011

Alexander the Great radically changed history and the political situation in antiquity. Through his conquests he also pushed back the frontiers of Greek culture to far into the East. Later on this process was given the name of Hellenism. The exhibition covers all the lands Alexander came into contact with on his campaign of conquest in the East: Persia, Egypt, Afghanistan, India, up to the borders of Mongolia. This makes it the first exhibition to present Hellenism on such a large scale as a global process of reciprocal influence between different civilisations and cultures.
