The National Centre RUSSIA has summed up the results of its tour program for the last quarter of 2024. The total number of tour participants during this period reached 28,000 people. The expositions left no visitor indifferent — guests shared their impressions and emotions, and some even made promises.

The exposition of young artists, "Legacy for the Future," which concluded at National Centre RUSSIA on February 2, received numerous reviews. Guests viewed paintings, sculptures, art objects, photographs, and animations created by artists from Russia, China, India, Brazil, Ethiopia, and Iran. Many works left a lasting impression on visitors.

"The story of the Hermitage's heroic deed moved us to tears," shared the visitors.

The painting "The feat of the Hermitage" by Olga Volkova is based on the story of rescuing the museum's pieces during the Great Patriotic War.

Many guests agreed that the work "Fast Food" should have been named "Glass Food" due to its incredibly delicate and precise depiction of food made from glass. The piece was created at the Academy of Arts and Design of Tsinghua University. It vividly illustrates the issue of how often useless and "transparent" fast food for the human body is packaged in expensive wrapping and, through presentation, generates consumer demand.

The sculpture "Lessons of Love" by Irina Burla made many children and adults reflect on their attitude toward pets. It depicts a girl hugging a cat.

"I won't bother my cat like that anymore. I thought she liked it, but now I understand she doesn't," promised one of the tour participants.

After learning the story of "Son of the Earth," many guests expressed a desire to visit the Gobi Desert and gained a deeper appreciation for the importance of protecting nature. The National Centre RUSSIA featured a scaled-down replica of the original sculpture located in the desert. This was the only work created not by graduates of art schools but by an experienced and renowned master, Dong Shubing.

The "Hall of Inventions" also attracted significant attention. Here, several dozen children made a promise to return to the National Centre RUSSIA in the future with their own inventions and take part in expositions. Additionally, visitors shared their interest in rereading the books presented in the "Hall of Inventions." Many noted the exciting opportunity to try out a new profession within the walls of the National Centre, such as experiencing the role of a space welder.

The youngest visitor to the National Centre RUSSIA in the fourth quarter of 2024 was a six-month-old baby, while the oldest, a veteran of labor, was 90 years old.
