Main Gate of VDNKh, Architectural monument at VDNKh Exhibition Center, Moscow, Russia
The Main Gate of VDNKh features six pairs of columns adorned with agricultural profession reliefs and culminates in a 32-meter-high sculptural composition point.
Constructed between 1951 and 1954 during the post-war reconstruction period, the gate replaced the former North entrance as the primary access to the exhibition grounds.
The gate's architectural elements, including the USSR coat of arms and surrounding banners on the frieze, reflect the Soviet period's artistic expression and social values.
Located near the VDNKh metro station on Prospect Mira, the gate serves as the principal entrance to the exhibition complex and opens to the Central Alley.
The gate's crowning sculpture depicts a tractor driver and farm worker holding a brass sheaf of wheat, covered entirely in golden smalt.
