Hermitage-Amsterdam welcomes millionth visitor

Amsterdam, 16 August 2010

Last weekend, the Hermitage-Amsterdam received its millionth visitor. Since opening on 20 July 2009, the museum has now welcomed one million visitors and guests. A recent survey showed that 25% of visitors to the exhibition Matisse to Malevich came from outside the Netherlands. This past year, the Hermitage for Children has also been a popular destination: tens of thousands of Amsterdam schoolchildren combined a visit to the museum with an educational programme. The current exhibition, Matisse to Malevich, will run until 17 September. On 18 September, a major exhibition will open on the life of a great Greek hero
The Immortal Alexander the Great: the myth, the reality, his journey, his legacy
