International Volunteers Day in the State Hermitage

More than 100 volunteers, among them persons of various ages, professions and nationalities, perform work in the most varied areas and help all the departments of the State Hermitage by providing systematic research requiring special skills and by organizing concerts and special programs. All the projects in which volunteers take part have in common the very noble and important task of the day - to preserve the world's cultural heritage.

Background information: the resolution creating an international volunteers day was adopted by the UN General Assembly in December, 1985 (Resolution N 40/212). The year the holiday will be celebrated for the 21st time.
