The main objective of Manifesta 10 is to introduce contemporary art, with all its complexity and criticality, to the State Hermitage Museum. Manifesta 10 reflects on the changes that have taken place within art and society since the fall of the Berlin Wall, presenting highly varied artists' positions, and taking into consideration the current geo-political situation. Two-thirds of the exhibition are located in the General Staff Building, the Hermitage's newly renovated wing of modern and contemporary art, and one-third is in the Winter Palace and the New Hermitage.
