The lecture "Expositional Russia" will take place on April 4 at the National Centre RUSSIA

The third lecture in the series of seven educational events at the National Centre RUSSIA will be "Expositional Russia". It will take place on April 4, starting at 18:00. The topic will focus on the architecture of museums in our country – both those specially created for exposition activities in the modern world and those with historical value.

The moderator of the event will be art historian and architectural historian Yelizaveta Likhacheva, and the speaker will be Ksenia Smirnova, Deputy Director for Educational Activities of the A.V. Shchusev Museum of Architecture.

The experts will discuss how the architecture of Russian exhibition spaces has changed over time and how museums have provided new forms of cultural and intellectual experience. The lecture will also explore modern approaches to creating museum-exposition locations and buildings.

Participation in the event is free; registration is required on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA at russia.ru in the "Events" section.

The event, as part of the educational cycle of the "The Birth of Scale" exposition, follows the lectures "Sporting Russia" and "Academical Russia".

The "The Birth of Scale" exposition at the National Centre RUSSIA presents completed architectural projects as well as ideas that only existed as concepts. These are unique models of buildings, blueprints, and scale models, preserved in museums and private collections. The exposition is open to all visitors free of charge.

Partners of "The Birth of Scale" exposition include DOM.RF, the Ministry of Construction of Russia, Gazprom, the State Research Museum of Architecture named after A.V. Shchusev, the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, the Yakov Chernikhov Architectural Charity Foundation, and the HSE School of Design.
