Moscow Pavilion

Moscow Pavilion is an Art Nouveau structure in Ostankinsky District decorated with ceramic stucco ornaments, golden emblems, laurel wreaths, and plant motifs. These decorative elements cover both the exterior facade and the interior rooms.

The pavilion was designed in 1967 by architect Mikhail Posokhin as part of the large exhibition complex. It was built during a period when the Soviet Union aimed to demonstrate its industrial and technological achievements to the world.

The pavilion represents Soviet pride in industrial progress and regional diversity. Visitors can see today how the architecture reflects the desire to display achievements and showcase different parts of the country.

The building is easy to reach via VDNH metro station, with the main entrance arch marking the beginning of the central alley. The park is large, so wear comfortable shoes and allow time to explore the surrounding grounds.

The pavilion is part of a complex larger than Monaco featuring around 400 structures representing various industries and regions of the former Soviet Union. This vast collection makes it one of the most expansive monuments to Soviet aspirations in scale.
