Rubens and His Age Masterpieces From the Hermitage Museum
The Guggenheim Hermitage Museum presents Rubens and His Age: Masterpieces from the Hermitage Museum through July 31, 2006.

The eighth exhibition to be opened at the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum,
Rubens and His Age is organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New
York in partnership with the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.

It contains a selection of nearly 50 masterworks -- paintings and decorative
objects -- by Rubens and other acclaimed artists such as Anthony van Dyck,
Jacob Jordaens, Jacob Van Oost the Elder, Adriaen van Utrecht, and Frans
Snyders among others, most of whom were Rubens' pupils or collaborators.

"This new exhibit gives visitors to Las Vegas as well as members of the
community the opportunity to appreciate great masterpieces they may not have a
chance to see," stated Rob Goldstein, president and COO of The Venetian Resort
Hotel Casino.

"And with the five-year anniversary of the partnership between
The Venetian and The Guggenheim fast approaching we are proud that the past
seven exhibits have continually given our guests the chance to see art that is
truly exceptional and rare.

It is with pride and admiration that we present
this show."

"This is possibly the most visually luxurious and exciting show we have
ever presented.
