The Kazan Kremlin hosts Hermitage Days 2026 from 23 to 25 October 2026, linking a programme of lectures and tours with a new exhibition in Kazan, Russia. The event takes place at the Hermitage-Kazan Centre, within the Kremlin museum complex.
Hermitage Days bring three days of talks and tours
The programme begins on 23 October 2026, when the exhibition Nicholas II: Family and Throne from the State Hermitage Museum opens at the Hermitage-Kazan Centre. The organiser lists lectures, curator-led tours and a family programme connected with the exhibition.
The opening day includes lectures on imperial yachts and curator tours of the exhibition. On 24 October, the schedule turns to lectures on the hunting traditions of the last Romanovs, alongside exhibition tours and the premiere of a programme for children and parents. The final day includes lectures and tours under the theme The Imperial Garage.
The official Hermitage Days programme places every listed activity at the Hermitage-Kazan Centre in the Kazan Kremlin. It also states that entry to the exhibition will be organised in sessions.
The new exhibition places the Kremlin in imperial context
Nicholas II: Family and Throne opens on 23 October 2026 and is scheduled to run until 5 September 2027. The exhibition comes from the State Hermitage Museum, while the accompanying programme uses lectures and curator tours to add historical context to the objects on display.
The venue is part of the Kazan Kremlin museum-reserve, a complex of architectural, historical and archaeological monuments. The UNESCO background on Kazan records the historic complex's inscription on the World Heritage List in 2000.
That setting gives the October programme a clear connection between a temporary exhibition and a long-established heritage site. Visitors will encounter the Hermitage collection inside a museum centre located within the Kremlin rather than at a separate venue elsewhere in Kazan.
