In the exhibition of the Museum of Cosmonautics, which is subordinate to the capital city Department of Culture, for the first time, an interactive exhibition will be held as part of the project ‘Days of the Far Eastern Regions in Moscow.’ It can be seen from November 1 to 30, in the hall ‘Cosmonautics — for Humanity.’
Visitors will learn about the characteristics of the Far Eastern Federal District, find out about professions that are in demand now and in the future, and even try themselves in various specialties. The museum will also exhibit items that will help compare the Far East and space exploration.
The ethnographic section of the exhibition will include about 40 museum items from the collections of two capital museums — the All-Russian Museum of Decorative, Applied and Folk Art and the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve. The exhibits date from the mid-19th century to 1990 and introduce the culture of four regions — Yakutia, Chukotka, Kamchatka, and the Khabarovsk Territory.
This part of the exhibition consists of two thematic sections. The first is dedicated to bone carving art—one of the hallmarks of the Far East. Here you can see items made from Yakut mammoth ivory and examples of Uelen carving on walrus tusk—from a 19th-century casket to carved tusks from the 1980s. The second section tells about the life of the peoples of the Amur region and the North, including the Nanai, Ulchi, Udege, Evenki, Nivkh, Negidal, and Chukchi. Their culture is represented through household items, clothing, ritual objects, and works of decorative and applied arts.
The exhibition is timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the “Far East Regions Days in Moscow” event series. The core of the exposition is a dialogue between humans and technology. Most of the space is occupied by interactive zones where visitors can create a personal video postcard, select job vacancies including those in the space sector, chat with a chatbot about professions of the future, plan a tourist route, and try on a sought-after Far Eastern profession using holograms. In addition, the exhibition will feature themed sections about heroes of the Far East and military-patriotic education, as well as an installation dedicated to the project’s anniversary and the macroregion’s connection to space, particularly the Vostochny Cosmodrome.
Entry — by museum ticket.
The Museum of Cosmonautics is one of the largest scientific and technical museums in Russia. Its history began in 1964, when the “Conquerors of Space” monument appeared on the map of Moscow. The current exhibition consists of eight exhibition halls. The museum’s collection includes more than 110,000 items. Among them are samples of rocket and space technology, relics, documents, philately, numismatics, decorative and applied arts, as well as collections of painting and graphics.
A large-scale project has appeared on the mos.ru portal special project, dedicated to the development of key areas of Moscow.
