Expo 2020 - Russian Pavilion is a visual treat

One of the pavilions that can’t go unnoticed is the multicolored dome-shaped Russian pavilion. The lines are always long and no wonder – it looks exciting with multicoloured spirals going around a massive dome.

Designed by Tchoban SPEECH and the constant threads around the globe are meant to symbolize the ‘endless process of cognition, rapidly growing speed of progress and the unstoppable movement forward’. The author and design of the main exposition, however, is Simpateka Entertainment Group.

There is a separate room in the pavilion that takes you through facts about Russia and its achievements through visually stunning screens and made-to-scale models of buildings and cities. To the right, there is a screen that showcases Russian scientists and their achievements.

Russian artefacts ranging from teacups to key chains are displayed as you move into the gift shop. There’s intricate painting and artistry involved, and the designs, while seeming universal, have a decidedly unique flavour to them.

The exhibition is also very educational- all about our big brain. If you missed biology class at school, the exposition is interactively explaining everything you need to know about how our brain works.

The emotional, the learning and the social mind are among the ‘five minds’. The pavilion also showcases how the world is seen through the eyes of different animals such as snakes, horses and chameleons.
