---

The installation of the exposition "Region-2030. Platform of the Future" has begun at the National Centre RUSSIA. The display will showcase the achievements and development prospects of the Russian regions through a synthesis of traditional and innovative exposition formats.

The first participants of the project will be seven subjects of the Russian Federation:

— the Chelyabinsk Region;

— the Tula Region;

— the Voronezh Region;

— the Amur Region;

— the Nenets Autonomous Region;

— the Republic of Dagestan;

— The Jewish Autonomous Region.

Each region has elaborated a specialized stand combining multimedia technologies, historical artifacts, and interactive installations. 

The key element of the exposition is the legendary steam locomotive 2-3-2B

Guests of the display will be able to take a virtual journey across the regions of Russia riding the legendary 2-3-2B steam locomotive. The show piece will be an exact replica of an experimental high-speed locomotive designed in 1938 at the Voroshilovgrad Locomotive Plant. Visitors will see how the engineering solutions of the last century resonate with today's transport innovations. 

Installation work is currently underway in Pavilion No. 7. It is being carried out by specialists from various fields. The exposition is being built up with help of both modern technologies and traditional display approaches.

The exposition "Region-2030. Platform of the Future" will be located on the second floor of Pavilion No. 7, and will be open to the public every day except Mondays from 10:00 to 20:00.
