Harnessing technology, enjoying nature and choosing a profession: which pavilions to visit before the end of the RUSSIA EXPO
The RUSSIA EXPO is drawing to a close, but there's still time to visit favorite expositions or explore pavilions that you might have missed earlier. Moreover, guests can enjoy the impressive "Future in Flowers" festival and much more along the way.
"ENERGY OF LIFE"
The "Energy of Life" pavilion is located a bit further from the main expositions, but it's definitely worth the 10-minute walk. Here, you can learn all about the country's energy complex, take virtual tours of power plants, and take beautiful photos in futuristic settings. Starting your journey towards the Ministry of Energy exposition is best from Pavilion No. 75, where stands from all regions are gathered. On your way, be sure to visit the "Smart City" pavilion, dedicated to modern technologies serving people. Here, you can participate in quests, interactive games and take virtual tours of the capital's iconic locations.
PRIRODOGRAD. CITY OF PROFESSIONS
Families with children should definitely visit this pavilion. Here, children aged 6 to 14 can try out various interesting professions such as scientist, meteorologist, explorer and even firefighter. Young guests can learn about the importance of ecology, summon rain and even parachute into a burning forest from an airplane cabin. Adventures are supervised by animators and completely safe.
On the way to the Ministry of Natural Resources pavilion, you can stop by the House of Russian Cuisine to try national treats from different regions, visit the "World of Digital" pavilion, admire the "Friendship of Peoples" fountain, and the art objects of the "Future in Flowers" festival.
NOVO-PROSTOKVASHINO
At the RUSSIA EXPO, there's a unique area called "Eat Our Own!", dedicated to achievements in domestic agribusiness. You can fully appreciate it at Pavilion R in the urban farm "Novo-Prostokvashino". There, guests can immerse themselves in a rural atmosphere, enjoy nature and interact with animals. Children will enjoy quests and masterclasses.
The farm is located near the "Space" pavilion, where until July 8, the free exposition "Russian Space: Creating the Future" is available. Near the Vostok rocket, you can see the famous flowerbeds of the regions. By the way, next to Novo-Prostokvashino is a Farmers fair, just a four-minute walk to Pavilion No. 48 along the road between the "House of Crafts" pavilion and the Centre for National Equestrian Traditions. At the fair, you can try and purchase natural products from all over the country: sausages and cured meats according to classic Italian and Spanish recipes, wild fish, as well as various cheeses and products from Siberian wild plants.
Sergei Yursky and Natalia Tenyakova are a rare example of a couple who managed to preserve both love and creative partnership.
The workshop "Toy for the City" took place on July 4 at the National Centre RUSSIA as part of the educational programme of the exposition "The Birth of Scale".
