VDNKh is a museum, exposition and exhibition complex of the capital!

You are welcomed by Mishan, who is always devoted to you! I recently visited the newly renovated VDNKh…

A small digression into history

The history of VDNKh begins on August 1, 1939. The All-Union Agricultural Exhibition (VSHV) became a kind of summing up the results of collectivization, a clear expression of the results of the work of the great Soviet people. Throughout its history, the exhibition has been rebuilt several times, and its name has also changed several times.

In 2014, in honor of the 75th anniversary of the opening of the exhibition, work began on its restoration. The historical name was returned to the place - "Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy"; merged with the Ostankino Park and the Botanical Garden. All premises were freed from illegally organized retail outlets, so the pavilions at VDNKh in 2017 are again a museum and exhibition complex.

Where to walk at VDNKh: sights and opening hours

Hours of Operation: 24/7, daily.

By the way, the exhibition is favorable not only for walking: the territory is conducive to rollerblading and cycling. But the rental of roller skates and bicycles on the territory of VDNKh has its own opening hours, many rental points close at 20-21 hours. If you are planning a night out, please bring your sports equipment. Restaurants and cafes on the territory of the exhibition complex are open from 10 am to 8 pm, some continue to work until 11 pm.

Museums VDNH

If you still do not know what to see at VDNKh, then we advise you to visit the local museums. There are a huge number of them here. Some of them we have already mentioned, and some have remained unaddressed. So, you can not pass by the Museum of Cinema, which opened this year.

Almost 60 years ago, on June 16, 1959, the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy was opened to visitors. Prior to that, since 1939, VDNKh existed under the name of the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition (VSHV). Since its opening, more than one generation of Muscovites and guests of the capital has been walking, falling in love, making new friends at VDNKh. VDNKh has collected a variety of cultural features of the Soviet era, being a kind of open-air museum of the history of the USSR and Russia.

Of course, now VDNKh has changed somewhat, but even now this place attracts many tourists. Residents of Moscow are also not averse to roller-skating or skating along the numerous paths of VDNKh.

What should you pay attention to when you are here for the first time? There are at least 10 places worth visiting at VDNKh.

1. Amusement park

The amusement park is one of the few VDNKh attractions that have retained their originality for several decades now. Previously, there were 2 amusement parks at VDNKh - to the right and to the left of the Main Entrance. Now the Amusement Park is located only on the left, although in the future it is planned to restore the second amusement park.

One of the symbols of VDNKh (and Moscow as a whole) is the Ferris wheel, which was previously located to the right of the Main Entrance. It was the highest Ferris wheel in Moscow, so for those who want to ride, but are afraid of heights, closed cabins were provided. At the moment, the Ferris wheel has been dismantled. The new ferris wheel is planned to be installed by 2018.

2.

Just like the Ferris wheel, the Friendship of Peoples fountain is a landmark building at VDNKh and one of the symbols of Moscow. It was built in 1954 and had several unofficial names: Golden Sheaf and Friendship of the Peoples of the USSR.

The fountain is a sculpture of 16 girls in national attire, symbolizing the 16 union republics of the USSR.

Russia (a girl who holds wheat in her hands, with a scythe on her head) stands in the center facing towards the Main Pavilion, Ukraine (a girl with a wreath on her head) and Belarus (a girl with a headscarf) are located on the sides of her. Visitors noted that all the fraternal republics are located in a different order than they are presented on the coat of arms of the USSR.

By the way, four sculptures of the fountain have prototypes: the Estonian ballerina and actress Virve Kiple-Parsadanyan, the Russian Honored Worker of VDNKh Raisa Frolovna Kolganova, the Turkmen pianist Gozel Annamamedova, the wife of poet Mikhail Svetlov Rodam Amirejibi is a citizen of the Georgian SSR.

The fountain attracts many guests every day who want to take a memorable photo or just sit on comfortable benches next to the fountain. And this is not surprising - in the evenings, the fountain is illuminated with different colors, which change 16 times in 1 hour!

3. Cinema "Circular cinema panorama"

The cinema is located at the southern entrance of VDNKh. This is the only cinema in the world where visitors can watch unique films with a 360-degree view and stereo sound. These films are usually around 20 minutes long.

There are benches in the center of the hall where you can sit down for more comfortable viewing. 22 screens installed in 2 tiers form a vicious circle, thanks to which a completely realistic effect of presence is created for each visitor.

It is hard to believe, but the Circular Cinema Panorama was created back in 1959 and was timed to coincide with the July plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the opening of VDNKh. In 1965-1966 the cinema has been modernized. Now there are about 20 screenings a day.
