Maintenance day and temporary change to opening hours at the National Centre RUSSIA
Every Monday is a maintenance day at the National Centre RUSSIA. The Centre will therefore be closed to visitors on 16 November. The day before, 15 November, the National Centre RUSSIA will have shorter opening hours, from 10:00 to 18:00.
From 17 November, we look forward to welcoming everyone back to the National Centre RUSSIA during our usual opening hours, from 10:00 to 20:00, Tuesday to Sunday. A 90-minute guided tour of the main exposition, "Journey Across Russia", takes visitors through all the country's federal districts, while the Gastronomic Rows offer a chance to discover distinctive regional cuisines. Visitors walking through the "Alley of Glory" exposition can take pride in the sporting achievements of their outstanding compatriots, while the interactive cultural and educational space "The Great and Mighty Russian Language" shows that even complex rules can be easy to understand and fun to learn.
Alongside its expositions, the National Centre RUSSIA welcomes visitors to lectures, concerts, workshops, festivals and other events in its cultural, business and educational programme. On Thursday, 19 November, for example, there will be another meeting of the Literary Club "What to Read?!", which is popular with visitors to the Centre. The event will be dedicated to the great Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky, whose 205th birth anniversary we are celebrating this year.
As usual, admission to all expositions and events is free, although some require advance registration at russia.ru. See the "Events" section for the latest schedule.
