In response to the Ukraine invasion, the London-based foundation has canceled all scheduled events and activities.
Based in London, the foundation was established in 2003 to assist the State Hermitage in “building cultural bridges between the UK and Russia.” Mikhail Piotrovsky, the director of the St. Petersburg museum for nearly 30 years, has been a trustee of the foundation since 2015 and serves as its president.
In a statement published by the US-based Hermitage Museum Foundation, Piotrovsky wrote: “The world has gone mad, and it will never be the same again. Things that are happening right now are unfathomable, they should never happen.”
