Mission
The Hermitage Collective role may change and grow with the museum. Therefore, a consistent purpose for the Collective is to fulfill the role of “ambassador” for the museum. The voice of this group can provide invaluable input regarding a variety of situations; whether it is related to exhibitions, marketing, or events and programming. Increasing awareness of the Hermitage and its programs and acting as a communication path between young professionals and the Hermitage are of the highest importance.
