<strong>The</strong> Sixteenth Meeting of the State<br />
Hermitage Museum International<br />
Advisory Board was held in St. Petersburg<br />
on 27–28 August, 2010.<br />
Traditionally, the discussions deal with<br />
most pressing issues of the museum’s<br />
development. As always, themes for<br />
discussion were developed by the Director<br />
of the State Hermitage Museum<br />
Prof. Mikhail Piotrovsky. This year, the<br />
Board members were invited to take<br />
part in the round table “Contemporary<br />
Art in the Hermitage: Approach<br />
and Strategy” discussing the “Hermitage<br />
20/21” Project. <strong>The</strong> questions<br />
introduced for consideration by the<br />
International Advisory Board included<br />
exhibitions of contemporary art<br />
scheduled for 2011–2014, results of<br />
the latest contemporary art shows in<br />
the Hermitage, approach and ideas<br />
of the Advisory Committee on Contemporary<br />
Art, strategies of acquiring<br />
objects of “new art” for the museum,<br />
and work with private collectors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Board members had a tour of<br />
the reconstruction site in the eastern<br />
wing of the General Staff building,<br />
and visited two museums of contemporary<br />
art that recently opened in<br />
St. Petersburg: the New Museum and<br />
the Erarta on Vasilievsky Island.<br />
Members of the Hermitage Advisory<br />
Committee on Contemporary Art, Sir<br />
Norman Rosenthal, former Director<br />
of the Exhibition Department of the<br />
Royal Academy of Arts, London; Tim<br />
Marlow, Director for Exhibitions,<br />
White Cube Gallery, London, and<br />
Geraldine Norman, Advisor for the<br />
“Hermitage 20/21” Project, London,<br />
were invited to take part in the working<br />
sessions of the Advisory Board.<br />
On 28 August the Members of the International<br />
