Interiors Of
The Hermitage
The digital world transforms real space and gives you the chance to experience what it’s like to besurrounded by the interiors of the museum. And it’s not you that wanders through the halls of the Hermitage – thanks to the multimedia technology, it’s the halls that flow over and around you. You hear the voices of different eras, immersing you in the atmosphere of a thrilling historical show. As soon as the audio guide finishes one story, the surrounding space changes, and you are plunged into the middle of completely different events.
Digital
Fine Art
A large-scale panoramic 180˚ panel scrolls through the artistic masterpieces that people from all over the world flock to the Hermitage to see. Detailed 3D models of the original frames enhance the authentic effect. On a separate screen, the most significant details of the paintings are shown close up in very high resolution. The audio guide, meanwhile, tells moving stories of the great canvases, their creators and their subjects.
3D Holograms
Of Sculptures
Holograms allow us to view realistic 3D images of great sculptures, while the latest digital technologies make it possible to convey the surface texture with such faithfulness that viewers will find themselves wanting to reach out to the optical illusions and feel the breath of the marble with their own fingertips.
Living
Canvases
The imagination and skill of the video artists – assisted by innovative technology and artificial intelligence ­– brings the masterpieces of the Hermitage to life for a few seconds, immersing us in the atmosphere of distant events.

Facade

The digital exhibition is preceded by a large-scale 3D mapping display. The historic façade of the Winter Palace (modelled at a scale of 1:30) greets visitors with a stunning extravaganza of light and unexpected 3D effects that deconstruct and reconstruct, changing their volume and architecture under the “brush” of the media artists.
