There are always many legends, myths, intrigues and scandals associated with large museums. Some of them are completely unfounded, others are groundless, others are upside down and have a political, cultural or even economic background. How to make sense of this abundance of contradictory information and distinguish truth from lies? Mikhail Borisovich Piotrovsky, Director of the Hermitage, and Geraldine Norman, a long-time friend of the museum and British journalist, unfold a dialogue in which they analyze the long life of the Hermitage through the scandals that inevitably occurred 300 years ago and today. Two voices - one from inside and one from outside, from different countries and worlds.
