The exposition of the Smolensk region demonstrates the most important events and features of the region. The theme of the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and his flight into space is reflected in the spherical shapes of the expositions’ art objects — porthole mirrors. Perennial flax "Sky Blue" used in the exposition tells us a story of a very significant for the Smolensk region agricultural crop — fiber flax.

The Smolensk region offers an idea of contemplating the nature as a source of inspiration and searching for new meanings: nature in the city, a garden city with forest motifs, rethinking history and culture.

The main decorative element is mirrored steles, which symbolize that the region has a rich heritage of many eras and cultures. The reflection of the nature in them is a desire for environmental friendliness, careful treatment and preservation of natural heritage. The steles also reflect the viewer, thus conveying that the main thing is the person, their aspirations, actions, and desires. And everyone has an impact on the formation of the future.

Fiber flax, chosen as a symbol of the region at the exhibition, is a valuable agricultural crop widely used in the textile, food and chemical industries. The first flax mill in the modern history of Russia was built in the region, and the world’s only museum-reserve "Smolensk Flax" is also located here.
