New permanent exhibition titled “Porcelain Plastic Art by Inna Olevskaya” opens at Hermitage Museum with support from Gazprom

“Gazprom continues its cooperation with the Hermitage Museum. And today, we are glad to present a new project: the exhibition titled “Porcelain Plastic Art by Inna Olevskaya.”

This is a remarkable exhibition, because the art of porcelain and porcelain compositions form part of the historical and cultural heritage of St. Petersburg and Russia. I think you will agree that the porcelain plastic art of St. Petersburg is truly a very considerable part of the porcelain art as a whole.

Inna Olevskaya worked at the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory for many years. And it was her wish that her “Genius and Villainy are Incompatible” artwork be placed in the Hermitage Museum. Today, this wish came true. This is a gift from Gazprom. We are absolutely confident that the masterpieces created by Inna Olevskaya deserve to be on display at the world's greatest museum”.
