APOLLO's personality of the year is one of the titans of the museum world. Since 1992, Mikhail Piotrovsky has weathered the years of perestroika and the dissolution of the Soviet Union while presiding over a museum that has not only remained intact but is also growing--a new building has permitted public access to the museum's reserve collections for the first time. Under his guidance, the Hermitage has established satellite galleries in London, Las Vegas and Amsterdam, and will soon open another, in Mantua. He talked to Joanna Pitman about the challenges of his job, the impact of money from Russia's new billionaires and his plans for a museum of twentieth century art.
