Wealth of traditions, dreams, and inventions: "Make a Wish" tour at the National Centre RUSSIA

At the National Centre RUSSIA, exciting tours are held that help guests learn more about culture, traditions, and the future, as well as immerse themselves in the festive spirit before the New Year. For example, the "Make a Wish" tour invites you to dive into the New Year's atmosphere, get acquainted with the wealth of traditions from various regions of Russia, and also learn about the country's cultural legacy, the dreams of visionaries, and inventions.

This tour begins near the main entrance, where eight bright New Year trees are installed. Each tree is decorated with symbols and traditions from one of the eight federal districts of our country. Here you can see Russian nesting dolls, lace patterns and gingerbread from the North, Ural gemstones, golden embroideries of the Caucasus, juicy fruits of the South, as well as images of animals and nature from Siberia and the Far East. The guide tells about how crafts are passed down from generation to generation, as well as about the unique cultural legacy of multinational Russia.

The tour then continues in the exposition halls of the National Centre. Guests visit the Library of the Future — here they learn how visionaries imagined tomorrow. Then, guests proceed to the Hall of Inventions, where they discover how dreams have become reality. The tour concludes at the "Legacy for the Future" exposition, where works by young artists from different countries are presented.

The National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA EXPO and to showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a permanent basis. Federal government agencies, state companies, corporations, and regions take part in the Centre’s work.

The National Centre RUSSIA is located at 14 Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Moscow. The Centre is open from 10:00 to 20:00 every day except Monday.
