Olga Lyubimova, Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation, gave an author's tour of the "Our Culture" exposition in Pavilion D for winners and participants of the "Bolshaya Peremena" ("Big Change"/"Big School Break") contest. Under the guidance of the head of the Ministry of Culture of Russia, schoolchildren and college students got acquainted with the main achievements of the country in the field of culture and art.

First, the guests of the pavilion visited the interactive zone "Literature". Olga Lyubimova spoke about the creation of model libraries and the National Electronic Library (NEL), which presented paper literature in digital format. Vadim Duda, Director General of the Russian State Library, joined the tour. From him the guests of the exposition learned how libraries preserve the memory of the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin. The children also recalled poems by A.S. Pushkin together with the head of Leninka.

In the "Fine Arts" section participants of the "Bolshaya Peremena" learned where future painters study. Darya Byalik, methodologist for scientific and educational activities of the Tretyakov Gallery, spoke about the history of the treasury. The guests guessed the famous masterpieces by poetic descriptions.

A stop in the movie hall was dedicated to the successes of Russian cinematography, in particular, to the first feature film shot in space - "Challenge". In honor of the Cosmonautics Day the kids met with the cameraman Alexei Dudin, who was the understudy of the director of the film shooting on the ISS.

Olga Lyubimova reminded about the musical heritage of Russian composers and modern musical projects at the "Classics" stand. And Daniel Adiyants, a graduate of the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, introduced the participants of the excursion to jazz improvisation.

"It is possible to talk about culture in our country without end. I would like you to retain its directions in your memory so that you go to theaters, museums, philharmonics, libraries, cinema halls as often as possible and that you find it interesting there," Olga Lyubimova noted.
