In our video column "The Hermitage Visits Colleagues" we will continue to talk about buildings and institutions whose fates and history, on the one hand, are closely intertwined with the history and collection of the State Hermitage, and on the other hand, have their own unique appearance and role in history and culture. Together with the Russian Museum, we have prepared a film tour of the Marble Palace. Senior researcher and curator Elena Borisovna Kochetova talks about the unique architectural complex of the 18th century, which harmoniously completed the ceremonial ensemble of the Neva embankment and was not at all accidentally visible from the windows of the Winter Palace.
