Hermitage Revealed

Documentary on, and with exclusive access to, The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg - one of the largest and oldest museums in the world holding over 3 million treasures and boasting more curators than any other art institution.

Marking the institute's 250th anniversary, Hermitage Revealed takes audiences through the museum's tumultuous history from imperial palace to state museum, offering unprecedented access to special collections and exclusive areas that remain hidden from the public eye. The production brings together the oldest, the most precious and the most closely guarded of Russia's treasures; items bought with great wealth or acquired by "other means", items hoarded and saved from violent revolutionaries, items thought lost and later re-found.
