The future... Everyone sees it differently. For Khakassia, the future is unthinkable without preserving her unique landscape and culture, without transferring experience and traditions from the older generation to the younger. This is why her rather small exhibition presents both modern design and traditional for Khakassia elements and plants.

The main object of the exhibition is the mirror solar sign. It is the oldest symbol of Khakassia, known for more than 3,500 years. It is a part of the coat of arms and of republic's flag. The solar sign was discovered on stone sculptures which so far are found only in the region. It symbolizes respect to generations of people who lived on the land of Khakassia, and represents a cycle of life. In the composition, it symbolically stands for the intersection of time and space, so in fact, it is a kind of portal that takes a visitor to the future. The reflected rays in the mirror circle highlight the fact that Khakassia is a sunny region. The number of sunny days there per year is 311!

The Asian globeflower is considered to be the floral symbol of the region. But in Khakassia people customary call it ‘zharok’. These bright orange flowers flicker in the thick green grass like hot coals. The smooth lines of the globeflower’s plantation represent meadows of the republic. The meadow seems to flow from one space to another, being a connecting link between the past, the present, and the future. The unique nature and national flavor of Khakassia will not leave the exhibition guests indifferent, and they will definitely want to visit the sunny region.
