Nittaya Kanokmongkol, Director of the National Museums of Thailand, visited the architectural exposition "The Birth of Scale" at the National Centre RUSSIA. Her visit took place as part of the International Museum Festival "Intermuseum."

As Nittaya Kanokmongkol shared, during her stay in Moscow she learned about the National Centre RUSSIA and decided to visit it, being intrigued by its exposition programme. According to the guest, the National Centre RUSSIA gives the impression of a modern venue hosting significant cultural and educational events. The guided tour of the exposition "The Birth of Scale" left a vivid impression on the international visitor.

"I really liked how the development of Russian architecture is presented — from its very origins to the present day," said Nittaya Kanokmongkol.

She noted how architecture began to change during the Soviet era: new materials such as concrete appeared, and architectural forms became more restrained — reflecting the pursuit of strength and functionality.

"It was especially interesting to learn how contemporary architects draw inspiration from both ancient traditions and Soviet projects, even those that were never realised. I also learned that Soviet architecture evolved differently across various regions of the country. The exposition helped me better understand the nature and evolution of Russian architecture — from its roots to the present day," concluded Nittaya Kanokmongkol.

The exposition "The Birth of Scale" at the National Centre RUSSIA showcases completed architectural projects as well as ideas that remain only as concepts. The exposition consists of both the National Centre RUSSIA's own objects and those provided by museums and private collectors across the country.
