The Museum of the Embroidered Map of Russia is located on Red Square in Cheboksary, the capital of the Chuvash Republic. Its main display item is the Embroidered Map of Russia — a huge panel that looks like the map of Russia, which became one of the central art objects and symbols of the RUSSIA EXPO. The opening ceremony of the museum was attended by the Head of the Chuvash Republic, Oleg Nikolayev. Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the National Centre RUSSIA, sent a video greeting.

Media facades with the digital version of the Map were placed outside the building of the Museum of the Embroidered Map of Russia. The museum will not only display canvases with traditional embroidery but also hold cultural and educational events.

"This is a great event not only for the republic where the idea of the embroidered map was born but for the whole country. I want to thank the governor of the republic Oleg Alekseyevich and the entire team — you were among the first to come to Moscow when the RUSSIA EXPO was just being created, and together we decided that the embroidered map of Russia would become one of the symbols of our exposition. The map is beginning a new story — a musical one. In June, the project 'Modern Musical Map of Russia' will start. I'm pleased to announce that this project will culminate in a large concert at the National Centre RUSSIA. Once again, congratulations on the opening. May the museum have a long, inspiring history!" said Natalia Virtuozova.

The Embroidered Map of Russia was handmade by masters from all regions of the country in 2022. The size of the canvas is 3 by 7 metres.
