On June 21, a ceremony was held to transfer the heritage items of the RUSSIA EXPO to the State Historical Museum. A stone panel from the Altai region and a painting from the Tyumen region will be added to its collection.

The panel was created by Altai masters of the Kolyvan Stone-Cutting Plant named after I.I. Polzunov, founded in 1802. It is made of red Korgon porphyry and Korgon jasper. The panel was assembled on the Exposition site.

In turn, Igor Ryazantsev, an artist from Tyumen, painted a picture "Invincible Russia", inspired by the RUSSIA EXPO, using a unique technique of philumism developed by him. It involves applying acrylic paint to the canvas with the thinnest threads using a disposable medical syringe. They started creating a picturesque canvas at the Exposition on the Day of the Tyumen region together with visitors.

"The art objects are designed to preserve the legacy of such an important event in the history of our country as the RUSSIA EXPO. They will tell our grandchildren and great-grandchildren about it," said Anna Koroleva, curator of cultural programs of the RUSSIA EXPO.

The RUSSIA EXPO is a unique platform that gives an opportunity to get acquainted with all regions of the country, said Marina Chistyakova, Deputy Director General for Foundation Work of the State Historical Museum. According to her, events of this scale are always captured in cultural monuments.

"The crucial aspect in curating the State Historical Museum is the meticulous selection of contemporary artworks, by which our descendants will judge the period in which we lived. This tradition is valuable — I thank the representatives of the Altai region and the Tyumen region for the fact that a piece of their artists' work will be kept in our museum forever," said Marina Chistyakova.

The International RUSSIA EXPO takes place on the territory of VDNH in Moscow from November 4 to July 8. Visitors are presented expositions of 89 regions of Russia, leading federal departments, corporations and public organizations. More than 16 million people have already visited the Exposition.
