The National Centre RUSSIA offers many spots for taking beautiful and unique photos. For starters, we offer you to take a classic selfie in the foyer — an ideal place for this is the large decorated mirror. Whether you prefer a stunning portrait or a full-length shot, this location offers both options.

Next, head to the "Library of the Future." Here, you can not only learn fascinating facts about past science fiction novels but also take unforgettable photos. For example, you can send a "Greetings from Space" in a special photo zone or visit the Infinite Library and capture a fantastic shot with an endless backdrop of books.

The next exposition, the "Hall of Inventions," showcases how the fantasies of writers have materialized into scientific inventions and technologies. This is another great spot for memorable photos. You can pose with the massive globe or a star map and don't miss the opportunity to take a picture near the Lion — the symbol of the National Centre RUSSIA. This image has long been a part of folklore, and ancient Russian texts preserve remarkable legends about it. Lions also appeared in church murals and sculptures created by Russian artists.

Some of the most extraordinary photos can be taken in the "Gallery of the Future," which showcases paintings, sculptures, photographs, and art objects by artists from BRICS countries: Russia, Brazil, India, China, and South Africa. Be sure to capture a shot with the legendary sculpture "Son of the Earth." The original is located in the Gobi Desert, but the author's replica is equally impressive. The sculpture depicts a peacefully sleeping giant infant, symbolizing the fragility of the surrounding world.

A meaningful and stylish backdrop for a photograph with profound symbolism is the work "Questions to Heaven" by Yang Muyuan, a canvas featuring text from a poem and inscriptions from ritual vessels of the Western Zhou dynasty.

The striking red desks of the art object "Crossing Boundaries" by Li Runzhi will also look fantastic in photos. Another unusual exhibit that will catch your attention is "Amid Echoes" by Deng Zewen — a composition of 196 old telephone receivers, each playing its own story.
