The exposition "Legacy for the Future" at the National Centre RUSSIA consists of three chapters. The first chapter highlights the continuity of traditions in innovation — from the ideas of visionaries and science fiction writers from around the world to the achievements of inventors. Its primary goal is to inspire visitors and foster a desire for invention and science fiction.

This chapter features two halls. The first, "Library of the Future," is dedicated to books that teach us to dream and imagine from early childhood.

On its virtual bookshelves there are works that helped people dream in the distant past but remain relevant today.

Visitors of all ages fondly recall imagining life on the Moon with Neznaika and his friends, relive the adventures of Kolya Naumov and Alisa Seleznyova, and picture the time machine and mind-reading device — the myelophone — which are still a dream for us.

Young visitors to the "Library of the Future" learn more about the bold innovators and masters of imagination of different eras, who passionately explored the realms of the future and created fantastical worlds beyond the boundaries of everyday reality.

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.
