On the morning of 5 May 2024, a general rehearsal for the Victory Day parade will take place on Palace Square.
Consequently, on that day the Main Museum Complex and General Staff building will open at
12:00 noon.
For visitors’ convenience, on 5 May the Main Museum Complex and General Staff building will close an hour later than usual, at 7:00 pm. Accordingly, the ticket offices will stop work at 6:00 pm, one hour before the museum closes.
During the May public holidays, all the display facilities will follow their usual timetables. On 9 May, the Day of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the Hermitage will be closed to visitors.
Over the May public holidays, the number of people wanting to go to the Hermitage increases several times. We therefore advise you to plan your visit and obtain tickets in advance through the museum’s official website tickets.hermitagemuseum.org.
