A journey into the world of discoveries, ideas, and dreams: the "Time of the First" exposition at the National Centre RUSSIA
Embark on a
flight aboard a spacecraft, explore the constellation of Alexander Belyaev and
the universe of the Strugatsky brothers, learn about the most significant
scientific discoveries of Russian scientists, master telepathic communication,
and find yourself in the future. The National Centre RUSSIA invites you to the
interactive exposition of the Movement of the First, dedicated to children —
the main characters of our future.
The exposition "Time of the First" is an exciting journey into the world of discoveries, ideas, and dreams. Inside, the space is divided into several zones. Visitors first arrive at the spaceport, where they are greeted by Alisa, a character from the works of the famous science fiction writer Kir Bulychev. This guest from the future serves as a guide through the exposition, sharing fascinating insights. The effect of telepathic communication is created through an audio guide and headphones.
Participants
will take a spacecraft ride through constellations and the universes of science
fiction writers. Alisa talks about their works, ideas, and dreams, encouraging
visitors to reflect on their own aspirations and visions for the future of
their Motherland.
From the
spacecraft, visitors transition to a scientific laboratory, where beloved
children’s characters — the Fixies — introduce the inventions of Russian
scientists that have made the world a better place. These include the radio,
artificial satellite, nuclear power plant, vaccines against COVID-19, and more.
Visitors can also see prototypes of children’s inventions, such as a device for
restoring hand mobility after injuries and an aid for visually impaired
individuals to navigate their surroundings.
The final hall
is a futuristic eco-space. Here, visitors can relax on cushions and enjoy the
breathtaking views of nature that Russia is so rich in. This hall is dedicated
to the future of Russia through the lens of ecology.
"I’m
visiting this exposition for the second time. The first time, I came with my
older daughter, who loved it so much that we decided to return and bring the
younger one. It’s incredibly interesting and educational, with a brilliant
concept and execution," shared Dmitri Ivanov from Moscow.
A wonderful
tradition has developed at the end of the tour: guests share their dreams and
wishes. Some dream of buying an apartment or becoming a master of sports in
swimming, while others hope for the invention of a cure for cancer. But
everyone, without exception, wishes prosperity and peace for their country.
The Russian
movement of children and youth "Movement of the First" was
established on July 20, 2022, to nurture, organize leisure activities for
teenagers, and shape their worldview based on traditional Russian spiritual and
moral values. It is possible to join the organization from the ages of 6 to 25.
Membership continues until the end of school or college, while adults
(including university students of legal age) can become mentors within the movement
and organize activities.
