Traditions and cultural legacy: the "Make a Wish" tour at the National Centre

The National Centre RUSSIA offers fascinating tours that provide guests with an opportunity to learn more about culture, traditions, and the future while immersing themselves in the festive atmosphere. One such tour is "Make aWish," which introduces participants to New Year's traditions from various regions of Russia, the country's cultural legacy, the dreams of visionaries, and groundbreaking inventions.

The tour starts at the main entrance, where eight vibrant New Year trees are decorated in the style of symbols and traditions from Russia's federal districts. Here, visitors can admire Russian nesting dolls, lace patterns, Northern gingerbread, Ural gemstones, Caucasian golden embroidery, Southern fruits, and depictions of animals and nature from Siberia and the Far East. The guide will share stories about how crafts are passed down through generations and the rich cultural legacy of multicultural Russia.

The tour then continues into the exposition halls of the National Centre. Guests will visit the Library of the Future to explore how visionaries imagined the world of tomorrow. The next stop is the Hall of Inventions, showcasing how fantasies turned into reality. The tour concludes at the "Legacy for the Future" exposition, featuring works by young artists from various countries.

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.
