The Hermitage each morning begins with a broadcast has already been recorded excursions and lectures live, not only in the Russian language.

In the Russian Museum, noted that the number of visitors of the virtual tour have increased by 90 percent. Museum and prior to that copes with online formats, had thus its anniversary. But what will happen with the usual exhibitions? Perhaps the exhibition dedicated to Alexander III, will be extended, and possibly will be closed; then it will change the display to the collectors and the givers

Online tour is good, but the museums have clearly missed the exhibitions and visitors. The Hermitage is preparing a huge project, which will connect literature, painting and music. It’s clear that visit the Museum will now be harder.
“Visitors will be difficult: it is necessary to get used that can’t come to the Hermitage, just stood in a queue. We will advance to buy a ticket, the amount of incentives will not. We will try to make so that even during these rigid rules, more people were able to get to the Museum, but the number of visitors will be limited,” — said Mikhail Piotrovsky.
Opened to the public, museums will comply with the rules of the CPS, so the crowds and the crush will be gone. One guide will be able to listen to 5-10 people in small rooms will pass in turn. Now the opportunity to visit the exhibition will be perceived as a gift.
