Infinite library, cosmonaut, and lion: where to take stunning photos at the National Centre
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.
The documentary "Life in the Profession", dedicated to the 90th anniversary of an outstanding cameraman Anatoly Zabolotsky, was shown at the National Centre RUSSIA on July 1.
Very this day one year ago, on July 1, the decree of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on the establishment of the National Centre RUSSIA was signed.
On July 2 and 3, the National Centre RUSSIA will host the Forum "Strong Ideas for a New Age". The Forum will include sessions and presentations of the best projects.
