For many children, a visit to the "Time of the First" exposition at National Centre RUSSIA became something special. The kids shared that here they not only learned something new but also formulated their own dream. Particularly often, young visitors left with the desire to become cosmonauts, inspired by the great pioneers of space.

The "Time of the First" exposition is an interactive route that allows one to embark on a cosmic journey, get acquainted with great scientific discoveries, and reflect on the future. Inside, the space is divided into several zones. First, guests found themselves in a cosmodrome, where they were greeted by Alisa — the heroine of a work by the famous science fiction writer Kir Bulychev. She became their personal guide through the exposition.

Participants in the tour, in a hall styled like a spaceship, learned more about the universes of science fiction writers. Alice told them about their works, ideas, and dreams, and invited them to consider what they themselves want most and how they envision the future of their Motherland.

From the spaceship, guests entered a scientific laboratory where children’s favorite characters — the Fixies — told them about the inventions of Russian scientists that made the world a better place. The final hall is a futuristic eco-space.

Currently, the exposition is temporarily unavailable — the second floor of National Centre RUSSIA is closed for renovation. In an expanded format, the exposition will open in March.
