"Treasures of Tutankhamun's Tomb" Exhibition
Pavilion 33 of VDNKh hosts the "Treasures of Tutankhamun's Tomb" exhibition. Here you can touch one of the most mysterious cultures and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Ancient Egypt. Tutankhamun, whose tomb was discovered almost untouched, has become a symbol of ancient Egypt in the modern world. And the treasures found in his tomb gave scientists a huge material for studying ancient Egyptian art and created a sensation in the world of archaeology.
There were no random things in the tomb. The objects that modern man perceives as treasures were not accidentally found in the tomb. Studying their symbolic meanings helps us to understand how ancient people interpreted life and death.

"Avant-garde of The 20th Century" Exhibition
The art of the Avant-garde is a real labyrinth of artistic movements and trends. Having declared itself at the beginning of the twentieth century, it marked the vector of development for the next century. Its rebellious spirit and shocking nature have embraced and absorbed the whole world. The avant-garde did not just break with tradition, it claimed more - the creation of a project of the future.
The art of the avant-garde can delight, surprise, and cause controversy and perplexity, but it cannot leave anyone indifferent. As long as it provokes a reaction, the avant-garde project is alive. The exhibition "Avant-garde of the 20th century" traces the development of art throughout the twentieth century. The geography of the project is wide: from Russia, France, Germany, and the USA to Greenland, Japan, and Vietnam.
It will be held from December 1, 2022, to February 28, 2023, in the Creative space "Lumiere Hall".
"Snow and Ice in the Museum of Moscow: Non-Passing Moscow" Festival

Ice versions of legendary but lost architectural monuments - Sukharev Tower, Vsekhsvyatsky Stone Bridge, Krestovsky water towers, Red Gate, Kitaygorodskaya Wall, and Alekseevskaya Tower - decorate the festival.
