The historical ties between the Netherlands and the Russian Federation date back to the 16th century. The interaction influenced both the tangible and intangible heritage of the Russian Federation and therefore is an integral part of the current relations between the two countries.
The long-term relation between the Russia and the Netherlands has been celebrated during the bilateral Netherlands-Russia year in 2013. The cultural programme was coordinated by DutchCulture.
Dutch-Russian cooperation in the field of heritage dates back to the 1980s and takes places in four areas: museums and collections; academic cooperation and archival research; built heritage and landscape architecture; and archaeology and naval history. Russia is a focus country in the current Shared Cultural Heritage Policy of the Netherlands (2013-2016).
