Participants will discover where Russia's most significant rock art sites are located, what ancient images can reveal about the lives of people in the past, and the role these monuments play in the country's cultural legacy.

Guest registration will begin at 18:00. Registration is available on the National Centre RUSSIA website in the "Events" section.
