A section dedicated to VDNKh has been launched on the mos.ru portal. It contains key facts about the country's main exhibition—its history, traditions, and development strategy through 2030. This was reported by Natalia Sergunina, Deputy Mayor of Moscow.
The section's visual accompaniment includes historical archival photographs and modern shots of renovated pavilions, fountains, monuments, and picturesque corners.
"The online project consists of several thematic sections. The first tells the story of the complex's revival, which began in 2014. At VDNKh, not only were architectural monuments restored, but new attractions, already beloved by Muscovites and tourists, were also created. These include the Moskvarium, the Aerial Tram cable car, and the Atom Museum," noted Natalia Sergunina.
The website also gave special attention to the museum and exhibition cluster. It comprises over 30 facilities, including the Cosmonautics and Aviation Center, the Slovo Museum of Slavic Literature, and the Cinema Museum, and is constantly expanding. For example, at the end of 2024, the Museum of Heroism, dedicated to the exploits of defenders of the Fatherland, opened in Pavilion No. 59, "Grain." This year, the complex opened Russia's only biocluster. Its first location is Pavilion No. 29, "Floriculture and Landscaping." Four more sites are expected to open by the summer of 2026.
Today, VDNKh is a large-scale cultural and educational complex, uniting 42 cultural heritage sites and 325 hectares of landscaped public space.
"Since the beginning of the year, VDNKh has been visited by over 18 million people, 10.5 million of them during the summer. Thousands of events were organized for guests: festivals, concerts, sporting competitions, and business forums. During the warm season, guides developed around 60 new tours of the museums and the complex," added Natalia Sergunina.
VDNKh is one of the key venues for this large-scale project Summer in MoscowThe venue hosted shows of the fifth Moscow Fashion Week, the "Friendship of Peoples" national hospitality festival, the "Inspiration" International Arts Festival, the "Tastes of Russia" gastrofestival, City Day, Cinema Day, and Chess Day celebrations, tournaments, races, lectures, and much more. Furthermore, the Orion family theme park attracted over 900,000 visitors.
In September, the exhibition "The Image of Moscow in Russian Art from the Collection of the State Russian Museum" opened in Pavilion No. 1, "Central," featuring 115 works of art. Some of these are being shown in the capital for the first time.
Anyone in the country can also take a virtual tour of the digital replica of the exhibition. One of the sections in the new section leads to the page of the interactive project "MetaVDNKh," which was developed for the exhibition complex's 85th anniversary in 2024.
This year, a development strategy was adopted that will shape VDNKh's future until 2030. It will place even greater emphasis on hospitality, environmental quality, and healthy living.
