And then after him Catherine the Great who established Hermitage, she was buying, so there was a taste for Dutch art in Russia. Also there was a European taste for Dutch art.

Costumes from 19th century   \u003cbr/\u003eThe Hermitage is exhibiting czarist opulence at a new satellite museum in Amsterdam.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Dutch capital is the city where Peter the Great started Russia's fabulous state art collection 300 years ago and which inspired the design for his own capital, St. Petersburg.\u003cbr/\u003eThe museum is in a former Dutch nursing home built in the 1680s, about 15 years before the Russian czar first visited Amsterdam to study shipbuilding. \u003cbr/\u003eIt remained a retirement facility until the last patient left two years ago.\u003cbr/\u003eMore than 1,800 items are on loan from the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg.\u003cbr/\u003eTogether, they give a vivid depiction of the court of the Romanovs from the 18th century until the 1917 revolution, when Czar Nicholas II was dethroned and ultimately executed with his family.\u003cbr/\u003eErnest W. Veen, Director Hermitage Amsterdam explains how Amsterdam inspired the czars.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Peter the Great he came in 1696 and in 97 twice to the Netherlands and he stayed for a long time. He was very much inspired by Amsterdam, probably you know that Amsterdam is a little model for the new city he created that was his dream in the North of Russia, St. Petersburg. He started his collection here in the Netherlands. The first paintings collection of the Hermitage are 220 Dutch masters.\"\u003cbr/\u003eHis St. Petersburg counterpart, Mikhail Piotrovsky, agrees, adding that there was \"a taste for Dutch art in Russia. Also there was a European taste for Dutch art. For instance Rembrandt was bought by Russians and French and Germans at a time when it was not much bought in Holland.\"\u003cbr/\u003eOn display are lavish gowns, jewellery, hats and fans that women wore at balls that were staged up to 40 times a year during the heyday of czarist power. \u003cbr/\u003eThe formal men's attire, usually blazing red jackets, were designed according to aristocratic rank, with the precise number of gold threads dictated by protocol drawn up by the 19th-century Czar Nicholas I.    \u003cbr/\u003eA gilded piano painted with more than 100 human figures in pastoral scenes dominates one of two long exhibition halls. \u003cbr/\u003eIt was a gift of the last czar to his wife.\u003cbr/\u003ePiotrovsky describes the collection as \"an encyclopedia of Russian culture and Russian every-day life, not of the persons but of the elite.\"\u003cbr/\u003eHe says the Amsterdam project is part of a strategy to make some of the museum's 3 million objects more accessible to the world.\u003cbr/\u003eThe two-year makeover of the former nursing home in the Amstelhof building cost 40 million Euro ($50 million), financed by the state lottery, corporate and private donors and the city of Amsterdam.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Amsterdam museum will have two rotating exhibitions a year, drawn from the Russian state museum's broad collection of classical and modern art. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Hermitage Amsterdam with its current project, \"At the Russian Court: Palace and Protocol in the 19th Century,\" will be formally opened by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands  on Friday. \u003cbr/\u003eThe museum opens to the public Saturday morning and will remain open through the first
