The lion as a symbol of national cultural revival: merchandise at the Department Store of the National Centre RUSSIA
In the Department Store of the National Centre RUSSIA, visitors can explore folk art traditions, discover local brands, and purchase souvenirs featuring the Centre's emblem.
Sweatshirts, T-shirts, and caps are adorned with the image of a lion, symbolizing the revival of national culture. This image has long been a part of folklore, and ancient Russian texts preserve fascinating legends about its qualities. Lions were often depicted in church frescoes and sculptures crafted by artists of the past.
In addition to items featuring the Centre's emblem, the Department Store also offers products featuring quotes from the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
Dear visitors! Please note the changes to the National Centre RUSSIA’s working hours during the New Year holidays.
From January 1 to January 3, the Centre will be closed to visitors. Starting January 4, it will resume its standard schedule: Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 to 20:00.
During the all-Russian survey "What does the Motherland begin with?", people across the country are answering this question in their own way, opening up the innermost corners of their souls.
Souvenir nevalyashkas (traditional Russian roly-poly dolls), are attracting particular attention, with guests choosing them for their harmonious combination of Russian colour and traditional Chinese symbols.
Under the guidance of artisans, each guest made an unusual souvenir that can become either a personal talisman or a gift with a special story.
