A journey through time and festive atmosphere: new tours at the National Centre RUSSIA
The National Centre RUSSIA has introduced two new tours
designed to immerse visitors in a festive mood while exploring culture,
traditions, and the future.
The tour "Make a Wish" invites guests to enjoy the New Year’s atmosphere,
discover the wealth of traditions from various regions of Russia, and learn
about the nation’s cultural legacy, dreams of science fiction writers, and
groundbreaking inventions.
The tour
begins at the main entrance, where eight beautifully decorated New Year trees
stand, each themed after the symbols and traditions of one of Russia’s eight
federal districts. Here, visitors can marvel at Northern lace patterns
and gingerbread, Russian matryoshkas – nesting dolls, golden Caucasian
embroideries, Ural gemstones, vibrant Southern fruits, and depictions of
animals and nature from Siberia and the Far East. The guide will share stories
about crafts passed down through generations and the unique cultural legacy of
multicultural Russia.
The journey
continues into the exposition halls of the National Centre. Guests will
visit the Library of the Future to explore how science fiction envisioned
tomorrow, marvel at realized dreams in the Hall of Inventions, and conclude the
tour at the "Legacy for the Future" exposition, showcasing works by
young artists from around the world.
Thechildren’s tour "The Future Begins Today" offers young visitors an
exciting journey through time and space. At the "Time of the
First" exposition, the Library of the Future, the Hall of Inventions, and
the "Legacy for the Future" exposition, children will meet Alisa — a
girl from the future. They will learn about the dreams of great science fiction
writers, solve mysteries of science and technology, and see the future through
the eyes of artists from Russia, Brazil, Iran, India, China, and Ethiopia.
The tour
incorporates playful elements and features characters from popular books and
cartoons. Both excursions last 60 minutes. Registration is available on
the National Centre RUSSIA website.
The
National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian
Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA
EXPO and to showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a
permanent basis. Federal government agencies, state companies,
corporations, and regions take part in the Centre’s work.
The
National Centre RUSSIA is located at 14 Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Moscow. The
Centre is open from 10:00 to 20:00 every day except Monday.
Participants of the first intake of this new educational project, who successfully passed the competitive selection process, shared their stories of discovering the School and their fresh impressions from the classes.
The date was chosen for a reason: it was on 2 March 2018 that the decree establishing the "For Mentorship" award was signed.
