The exposition of the Nenets Autonomous Area introduces the RUSSIA EXPO guests to one of the northernmost regions of the Russian Arctic. There are three times as many reindeer here, and local shamans still practice ancient rites. Here you can see the ancient glacial lake Golodnaya Guba, bathe in thermal springs and visit the mysterious village of Amderma.

You can feel the atmosphere of the Nenets Autonomous Area to the fullest extent by visiting the stand of the region at the RUSSIA EXPO. There is a real yurt at the exposition, national costumes are presented, which you can try on to make spectacular photos. Particularly beautiful photos are made against the backdrop of the northern lights, which is broadcast on a huge screen.

There are different attractions for children here. Younger kids can compete with each other in "catching" fish, and those who are older can try to handle a reindeer sled. To become a musher, it is enough to put on virtual reality glasses.

By the way, the Nenets exposition is decorated with real reindeer moss - lichen, which reindeer feed on. And with the arrival of spring, the stand was decorated with yellow and white daffodils symbolizing the sun and snow. There is also a new art object - a flower tree decorated with symbols of the region. You can find figurines of fish and reindeer, national dolls and an image of local ornaments shaped like reindeer antlers.
