Pavillion Belarus, Soviet exhibition hall in VDNKh, Moscow, Russia.
The Belarus Pavilion is an exhibition building in VDNKh Park designed in Stalinist architectural style by architect Grigory Zakharov. It features a prominent facade with decorative columns and ornamental details that reflect the classical Soviet building approach of its era.
The pavilion opened in 1954 as part of the Exhibition of Achievements of the Soviet Economy, created to showcase the accomplishments of the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic. This marked the beginning of a lasting tradition of presenting Soviet republican achievements at this location.
The pavilion displays rotating exhibitions featuring Belarusian products, crafts, and cultural items that show the shared heritage between Belarus and Russia. Visitors can see how the two nations have maintained artistic and economic ties through the displayed collections.
The building is located in the Ostankinsky District along Mira Avenue within the VDNKh Park grounds and is open during regular park hours. Visitors should allow enough time to walk through the exhibition halls and take in the architectural details of the interior spaces.
The pavilion retains its original architectural details and ornamental features from when it first opened, earning it status as a federally protected cultural heritage site. This protection ensures that the building's decorative elements and classical proportions are preserved for future generations.
