Oleg Vasilyevich Kuznetsov, Chairman of the Vasnetsov Foundation, recently paid a working visit to St. Petersburg, which became an important stage in strengthening cooperation with one of the most famous cultural institutions in Russia - the Hermitage Foundation. During the visit, new initiatives and projects aimed at preserving and popularizing cultural heritage were discussed. A conversation took place with the leadership of the Hermitage Foundation, where issues of research and educational projects were discussed. Both sides expressed interest in sharing experiences and resources, which will not only deepen scientific research, but also make art more accessible to a wide audience. The working visit was a vivid confirmation that cooperation between the foundations contributes to the development of the cultural environment. We expect that the results of this visit will lead to new interesting projects and initiatives that will delight connoisseurs of art and culture.
