Gala Banquet in the Winter Palace - 30 June 2018
Every year the State Hermitage Museum hosts the Gala Banquet in the Winter Palace. This magnificent celebration, worthy of the Russian Tsars, attracts patrons of the arts and friends of the Hermitage from all over the world.
The gala banquet will start with a champagne reception in the Hanging Garden of Catherine the Great. The famous Peacock Clock will give a signal to the tour through galleries where the guests will enjoy not only masterpieces from the Hermitage collection but also musical and performance programme.
Then the guests will be invited to a sumptuous dinner in the Jordan Gallery and the traditional ball in the Fieldmarshals' Hall. According to the Russian tradition the evening will finish with a “glass-for-the-road” in the magical light of the White Nights. Among the special guests of the Gala Banquet will be star artists, members of the international cultural, business and political elite.
Dress code: black tie, ball gown
