The ''The Moscow Kremlin - the Heart of Russia'' photo exhibition began working in the capital of Thailand, TASS reports. It will last until the end of October. Entrance to the exhibition is free.
Various architectural monuments of the Kremlin, captured by photographers at different times, are presented at the exhibition. These include the Assumption and Annunciation Cathedrals, the Bell Tower of Ivan the Great, and the Chamber of Facets. A lot of space is occupied by images of historical treasures that are stored in the Armory Chamber. This includes Monomakh’s hat, Boris Godunov’s throne, as well as the famous Easter eggs made by Carl Faberge’s jewelers for the imperial family.
According to Russian Ambassador Evgeny Tomikhin, the organizers wanted Thais to be able to learn more about Russia. They will be able to see all these beauties and attractions themselves, the diplomat explained. Residents of Thailand do not need a visa to visit Russia, and it is especially convenient that the two countries are connected by direct flights.
The ambassador also said that last year the director of the Moscow Kremlin Museums, Elena Gagarina, visited Thailand. She spoke with local colleagues about developing cooperation. That's when the idea for this exhibition appeared. There is currently a discussion going on about an exhibition of items from the museum’s collection.
In addition to Bangkok, the exhibition will be shown in other cities of Thailand.
