Geraldine Norman wrote the book, ‘The Hermitage: The Biography of a Great Museum’ which was published in 1997. She started the ‘Hermitage Magazine’ and the ‘UK Friends of the Hermitage’ in 2003. And now, in collaboration with the Kroll Family Trust, she is working on this book to explain to herself – and hopefully to others – what Mikhail Piotrovsky has achieved for the Hermitage and what makes him tick.
