When hovering over each object, users are offered the opportunity to explore exhibits related to that location. Each artifact has its own page with photographs, detailed descriptions, and links to the historical period to which it belongs. The descriptions were compiled by both professional historians and veterans of the capital's gas industry, who shared insights into the nuances of operating these devices.
The "History of Moscow's Gas Industry" section provides information on all periods of the capital's gas transportation system's development, illustrated with photographs from the archives of Russia's gas distribution companies, the Moscow Main Archives, and the TASS news agency.
