- description: <p class="p2"><span class="s1">On 22 June 1941, German troops invaded the Soviet Union. Threatened with bombing, workers of the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg decided to send the entire museum collection by train to other cities. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Despite having no artworks to show, the staff continued to operate a programme of guided visits. Educators took visitors around rooms populated by frames without canvases and pedestals without sculptures. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Guided by an educator and performer, "Una visita al todo y a la nada" (A Visit to Everything and Nothing), is a performative visit to a museum in which traces, details and museological errors can be seen – through meditation – as artistic gestures.</span></p>
