This year, the Moskvich card celebrates its 25th anniversary.

All events dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Muscovite card are collected on special page.
“For the anniversary of the Moscow Resident Card, we wanted not only to remember together with the residents how one of the capital’s most important social projects began, but also to create something that would remain in memory and could be shared with loved ones. That’s why a bright art object is installed at VDNKh, where you can receive a souvenir from the ‘Moscow Resident Card,’ a photo zone is organized at Vorobyovy Gory, and at Chistoprudny Boulevard there is a photo exhibition about the card holders and partners and the project’s stories. We want Muscovites of different generations to feel that this celebration is shared,” said Olesya Kuzmina, project manager of the “Moscow Resident Card.”
From a stained glass art installation at VDNKh to an exhibition on the boulevard
Until October 31, an interactive art installation dedicated to the Muscovite map is operating at the southern entrance of VDNH. It is a transparent pavilion made of colored stained glass. In sunny weather, they create bright reflections, and in the evening the effect is enhanced by lighting. Here you can take unusual photos with the whole family, and also scan a dynamic QR code on the screen to receive souvenirs from the “Muscovite Map” project. And in the “Smart City” pavilion until the end of October, you can visit the interactive photo booth “Time Machine.” With the help of a neural network, it is easy to find yourself in the years 2001, 2010, and 2018, take pictures with attributes of those times, or look into the future — to 2050. You can download the photo as a memento, and also, by scanning the QR code, get a souvenir at the pavilion’s counter.
