Vassar program in St Petersburg

[Boudovskaia, Elena]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to bring to your attention our semester-long program in St. Petersburg designed for students majoring in either Russian Studies or Art History.  

This program is truly unique, as it grants our students a virtually unlimited access to St. Petersburg's Hermitage, whose collection of European art is on par with the British Museum or the Louvre.  Our students are taught by museum curators, with some classes taking place on days when the museums are closed to the general public. Program participants also have a chance to view and handle works in museum storage rooms.

Other classes are taught in St. Petersburg's Russian Museum, a major depository of Russian art from icons to post-modernism.

The program is in the fourth year of  its existence.  In addition to Vassar students, we have had participants from many other colleges.

The deadline is March 2009. For more information, follow the link below:

or contact the Program Director, Nicolai Firtich, at 
nifirtich at vassar.edu

Sincerely, 

Elena Boudovskaia
