HERMITAGE Amsterdam is a branch museum of the Hermitage Museum of Saint Petersburg, Russia. The museum houses two permanent presentations, one describes Netherlands–Russia relations and the other details the history of the Amstelhof building. There are always temporary exhibitions.
The building in which Hermitage Amsterdam is currently housed was for 324 years a home for the elderly. When at the close of the twentieth century it became apparent that Amstelhof care facility no longer met contemporary requirements it was decided to find a new use for the building. Since June 2009 the site has been home to Hermitage Amsterdam.
