At the RUSSIA EXPO, the region presented an exposition inspired by the fairy tale "The Emerald City", as its author, Alexander Volkov, was born in the Tomsk region. The stand offers visitors a comprehensive introduction to the region through thematic zones: "Heart", "Mind" and "Courage."

The first zone is dedicated to key developments in the field of medicine, the second will inform guests about scientific activities, and the third will showcase breakthrough technologies in various fields. Young visitors won't be bored either, as there are computer games and an art sandbox called "Jurassic World."

The regional capital, Tomsk, though a small city, boasts beauty and ancient architecture. Tomsk was once the capital of Siberia, as well as Altai and part of Kazakhstan. The Siberian taiga begins just outside the city. In the region, you can hunt grouse and try stroganina made from rare fish. Tourists come here to see untouched wilderness or to attend vibrant ethno-cultural festivals. For instance, the local Festival of the Axe gathers carpenters from all over the world.
