"I spent hours examining the models": visitors of "The Birth of Scale" exposition shared their impressions

Guests of the architectural exposition "The Birth of Scale" at the National Centre RUSSIA shared their impressions and emotions after exploring the history of architecture in our country. The exposition features realised architectural projects, as well as ideas that remained only as concepts. The exposition includes both items from the National Centre RUSSIA’s own collection and those provided by museums and private collectors from across the country.

According to visitors of the National Centre RUSSIA, the exposition impresses with its scale and attention to detail.

"I really enjoyed the architectural exposition; it is truly monumental. What stood out most to me was the section about Moscow and St. Petersburg. The Palace of Soviets, which was supposed to be built, also amazes with its scale, the way it was meant to be," shared her impressions guest of the National Centre RUSSIA, Darya.

Each visitor to the exposition can find items, models, and stories related to unique projects by great Russian architects that resonate personally with them.

"'The Birth of Scale' exposition at the National Centre RUSSIA impressed me because it allowed me to learn about Russian architecture and its history. I was especially surprised by the number of models displayed at the exposition. I particularly enjoyed the Stalinist skyscrapers. The models are presented on a rather large scale, which I really liked. I spent hours examining them. It was very interesting," shared his emotions visitor Ivan.

"The Birth of Scale" exposition is open to both young and adult visitors. Architecture enthusiasts can dive into the history of these masterpieces together with professional guides from the National Centre RUSSIA.

"It was interesting to see the development of Russian architecture. We learned a lot of new things. I really liked the project in the Far North, where a micro-city was created under a dome," shared his impressions guest of the National Centre RUSSIA, Dmitry.
