Pavilion No. 47 Pig Farming at the VDNKh, Educational pavilion at VDNKh exhibition complex, Moscow, Russia
The building combines white stucco walls with red brick accents and features two bas-relief sculptures of pigs at the main entrance with a triangular pediment.
Built in 1954 by architects Alexander Kolesnichenko and M. Ruchko, the pavilion displayed 300 pigs of different breeds from Soviet collective farms until the 1990s.
The pavilion transformed in 2016 into the House of Crafts, offering workshops and creative spaces for artisans, designers, and local craftsmen to showcase their skills.
Located near the Likhoborsky entrance, the pavilion operates daily from 10:00 to 22:00 with free admission and provides free Wi-Fi access to visitors.
The exhibition space included a demonstration ring in the courtyard where champion pig breeds performed, accompanied by documentary film screenings and expert consultations.
