Newspeak is a taste of contemporary British art against the 18th-century imperial Russian backdrop of St Petersburg's State Hermitage Museum. Featuring works from some of Britain's best up-and-coming artists, the exhibition takes pride of place in the sumptuous Nikolaevsky Hall.
The collection makes its debut at the Hermitage before returning to the UK to London's Saatchi Gallery. Visitors can enjoy sculpture, painting, photography and installation pieces based on contemporary themes such as class and consumerism.
In addition, the collection features prize-winning work from the BBC series Saatchi's Best of British, aimed at uncovering Britain's newest artistic talent.
Event details can change. Please check with the organisers that the event is happening before making travel arrangements.
