---

On April 25, an expanded exposition in the Pavilion "Made by Us" of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia at the RUSSIA EXPO was presented for the first time: nine halls of the large-scale exposition were supplemented with new exhibits. The event was attended by Alexei Gruzdev, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, and Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"». The opening of the updated exposition was also attended by well-known bloggers Alexander Usoltsev, Natalia Radulova, Sergei Dyagilev and young authors Black2White (Anton and Sofiko), Sandy Cheeks and Anya Vinograd.

"Our Exposition is undergoing major updates. And today the exposition of the Ministry of Industry and Trade - one of the most popular from the first day - shows us the future. I would like to say a word of thanks to our colleagues from this agency for the quality of the pavilion. It sets a high bar for other partners of the Exposition: all the ideas we have are realized at a very high level," said Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the RUSSIA EXPO.

Alexei Gruzdev spoke about the upgrades the pavilion has undergone: "Over the 5 months of the Exposition, 173 days to be exact, our pavilion was visited by more than one million guests, we held about 100 thematic events. Domestic industry does not stand still, and, of course, our industrial journey could not but change during this time. We have updated the thematic halls, supplemented them with new full-scale exhibits, interactive installations, up-to-date information materials - 8 out of 10 halls have been updated and supplemented with 22 new installations. We tried to make the process of immersion into the world of industrial technologies even more exciting, informative and unforgettable. Of course, all this would hardly have been possible without the support of the RUSSIA EXPO Directorate. I would like to thank my colleagues for their professionalism and support".

The tour participants got acquainted with the key achievements of the Russian industry. They touched the "Heart of Industry" and then went through the "Corridor of History" to the "Timeline of Achievements" hall, where an updated multimedia installation awaited them: an audio-visual history of the production of Aurus cars, details of the first flight of the SJ-100 and other bright events. Another new exhibit of the exposition is an interactive catalog, which contains a rich history of Russian folk arts and crafts.

In addition, the tour participants got acquainted with the new exhibits of the "Engineering Center": system boards and printers of Russian production, as well as an engineer's workplace and a virtual laboratory of immersive technologies, where you can study aircraft jet engines with the help of virtual reality glasses. Then the participants of the excursion tried themselves in the role of a driver on the subway train simulator and got acquainted with the installation about modern domestic agricultural machinery, saw interactive models of modern ships, learned about new domestic aircraft engines and looked at the Tu-214 model up close.

In the "Industrial Laboratory" participants tested the new installation "Light Industry", where you can learn how the light industry is developing in Russia: what new types of textiles and technologies of their production have emerged in recent years, what developments domestic enterprises are still working on.

In the "Hall of the Future", where a new block of interviews was added to the final show, the tour participants heard children - students of engineering clubs, schools, universities and other specialized educational institutions - talk about how they see the future of the country's industry, about their own hobbies and experience of creating various inventions, about relatives who inspired them to acquire engineering skills.

After the tour in the "Hall of the Future", the lecture-dialogue "Top 10 ideas for an engineering journey" began. The speaker was Andrei Tutushkin, a leading guide of the creative bureau "Through the Eyes of an Engineer" and a master of the "Guide School". He spoke about unique sights in different parts of Russia, explained how to "read" industrial architecture and engineering structures, introduced the biographies of industrial architects. The features of all preserved Shukhov Towers, Pushchino Science City, Obninsk NPP and many other landmark objects were discussed at the lecture.

There was also a masterclass "Technical Equipment" from MIREA - Russian Technological University. There, guests learned how home appliances work (and why they sometimes don't), how to find a hidden phone, and saw the equipment used to search for people.
