Dear Dave Wells, (with excuses to everyone else on the list) I researched for your question on the St. Petersburg thing. I'm in New York at the moment and therefore didn't have your personal email address at hand. The Dutch government does support several initiatives aimed at helping Eastern Europe. Problem however is that we've just got a new government and they are reshuffling the various ministeries (with culture going from the Welfare department to Education & Science). So it is difficult to get hold of the right person. You might try and contact mr. P.J.C. Mulder at telephone number +31.70.3407911 (fax: +31.70.3407834) The telephone (general) number of the new ministery will be +31.79.531911 (fax: +31.79.531953). Another option is to contact the Dutch Museum Association (tel. nr. +31.20.6203308). They are always very sweet and willing to help, but not very well informed. (too many volunteers/internships). Hope it will at least be of some help. with best wishes, Jaap Boter [log in to unmask]
