The world famous State Hermitage Museum will be the major organizer of Manifesta on the Russian side providing its venues and quality expertise to make the event truly unforgettable. In 2014 The Hermitage is celebrating 250 anniversary of its foundation and will open the doors of the freshly reconstructed historical General Staff Building, that will become one of the principal stages of the biennale.
