The last exhibition featured will be “Modern Masters from the Guggenheim Collection” until May 11.
“Our intention,” said Dr. Piotrovsky, Director of The State Hermitage Museum, “has been to use our permanent collections to create a unique cultural experience.” The statements made from the museum officials however following the announcement has been that The Guggenheim Hermitage Las Vegas was not necessarily intended to be a permanent museum. The Guggenheim operates museums in cities including New York, Venice, Berlin and Bilbao, Spain, and is building a new museum in Abu Dhabi set to open by 2013.
