The State Hermitage Museum, one of the largest in the world, has Friends all over the globe who support it. It is with the help of the Hermitage Friends' organizations in Russia, United States of America, Canada and the Netherlands that many of the Hermitage's development projects have become a reality. These projects, worth 1 million US dollars each, enabled the Hermitage to repair the roofs over the Rembrandt Gallery and the Dutch Masters Galleries as well as to restore the galleries themselves and install new lighting equipment.
