De Hermitage Amsterdam

The exhibition is especially put together for the grand opening of the Hermitage Amsterdam,and never before has this
special collection of top pieces at one time left the Hermitage St.Petersburg.All in all there will be 1800 objects
on display,150 of those being (court-)dresses,uniforms and costumes.The dresses will be on display on specially designed moving plateaux.

To display several of the other top pieces there's a hole in the roof as the Empress Catherine the Great's State Coach will
be on display as well and through the roof is the only possible way to get that marvel in.

In one wing you will feel like a guest at an Audience with the Tsar,in another you will feel as a guest at a Court Ball,
Nicky's precious stones studded costume of the famous Ball will be on display as well.

The opening for the public will be on june 20th,and in touch with St.Petersburg,the opening will be celebrated with a
White Night Festival so the museum will be open for 24 hours during which there will be festive activities and concerts
throughout the museum,the inner court and along the Amstel river.

It will be impressive,touching,marvellous and enchanting,all in one.

To top it off,think blini's with caviar and champagne.....

HM was on a working visit to the St.Jansdal hospital,Harderwijk today.
The visit was in the frame of innovation in healthcare.

Smart innovation can improve both the working process and the quality of care.
The hospital is the first connected with electronical medicin-files through a national network.
 
The Queen looks lovely!

HM Queen Beatrix and President Dmitry Medvedev of Russia will officially open the Hermitage Amsterdam on june 19th.

The Hermitage St.Petersburg's Amsterdam branche will open with a stunning exposition on Court life in the 19th century
and contain 1800 artifacts,(among which there will be 150 Court dresses alone),and Catherine the Great's State Coach,
as well as Nicky's fancy ball costume and his mothers,Marie Feodorvna',Coronation robes.

One wing will make you feel a guest during an Audience with the Tsar,another wing welcomes you as a guest on a Court Ball
while court dresses and stunning uniforms,gems & jewelry on display on turning plateaux surround you.

Never before have there been so many top pieces in one exposition abroad,so that alone makes it absolutely unique.Just to
accommodate Catherine the Great's State Coach they've made a hole in the roof to lift the marvel inside as well as several
other larger pieces

A must see.

The Hermitage will open to the general public on june 20th and will remain open for 36 hours during the White Night Festival
while there will constantly be concerts and performances inside and outside in either the halls,rooms and beautifull inner court
garden or the quai at the Amstel river in the front.
