Pavilion No. 71 "My documents" at the VDNKh

Already a major tourist attraction in the heyday of the Sovjet Union, the park claims current visitor numbers around 500.000 per weekend, since the major restorations and renewals in recent years. VDNKh now occupies almost 2,5km², housing some 500 permanent structures. There are countless pavilions, representing some of the most exotic corners of the former USSR and different sciences.

On 26ha of indoor exhibition space, you'll find anything from street art to highlights of the auto-mobile industry or the science behind the magic in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
