Exhibition '20th Century. 1945–2016: Russia — My History'

About exhibition

The exhibition is a unique multimedia project that immerses visitors in key moments of Russian history, from the end of the Great Patriotic War to contemporary events. This period encompasses many significant changes that deeply affected the life of the country and its citizens. The exhibition offers the opportunity not only to see historical artifacts but also to hear the stories of people who experienced these events, which makes it especially valuable for understanding the historical context. An important part of the exhibition is devoted to the late Soviet period, when the country underwent complex transformations. This stage is characterized by both economic hardships and cultural achievements. Visitors will learn about developments in science and the arts, how Soviet society adapted to new conditions, and the significance of perestroika and its consequences for citizens' lives. Multimedia elements of the exhibition, such as videos and interactive installations, help create a comprehensive picture of that era. The transition to the new Russia in the 1990s became another major chapter in the country's history. The exhibition highlights events related to the collapse of the Soviet Union, economic reforms, and social changes that affected millions of people. This section focuses on how political and economic changes influenced everyday life, values, and worldviews. Visitors will see how the new realities shaped modern society and how it continues to develop in the context of globalization.
