Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition
TitanicTitanic: The Artifact Exhibition takes you on a journey back in time to experience the legend of Titanic like never before. This fascinating exhibition features real artifacts recovered from the ocean floor along with room re-creations and personal stories. Engineering, physics and social studies are all addressed as you explore the science of Titanic. On April 15, 1912, Titanic, the world's largest ship, sank after colliding with an iceberg claiming more than 1,500 lives and subsequently altering the world's confidence in modern technology. 102 years later, Imagination Station pays tribute to the tragedy which continues to resonate through Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, where more than 150 legendary artifacts conserved from the ship's debris field are showcased offering visitors a poignant look at this iconic Ship and its passengers. The exhibition has been designed with a focus on the legendary RMS Titanic's compelling human stories as best told through over 150 authentic artifacts and extensive room re-creations. Perfume from a maker who was traveling to New York to sell his samples, china etched with the logo of the elite White Star Line, even a pair of almost perfectly preserved men's dress shoes - these and many other authentic objects offer haunting, emotional connections to lives abruptly ended or forever altered. Visitors are quickly drawn back in time to 1912 upon entrance, as each receives a replica boarding pass of an actual passenger aboard Titanic. They then begin their chronological journey through Titanic's life, moving through the ship's construction, to life on board, to the ill-fated sinking and amazing artifact rescue efforts. They will marvel at the re-created First and Third class cabins, and press their palms against an iceberg while learning of countless stories of heroism and humanity. More info

Walk Around Moscow
Walk Around Moscow"Walk Around Moscow" exhibition is held at the Vlakhernskoye-Kuzminki Estate from October 10th, 2014 till April 20th, 2015. The exposition includes amazing photographies of the Moscow streets making one hundred year ago and today. The historical part of the display consists a selection of reproductions which were done during 1912-1915 from Emile Gautier-Dufayer's albums. The photographies captured daily life at the streets, lanes and squares of the capital, and now they have cognitive and artistic value for viewers of our days. In the early 20th century the Archaeological Society made a decision about full-scale photographing of the city and that was carried out by E.V. Gautier-Dufaye. This remarkable work was interrupted by World War I in 1914. The collection contains about 500 photos, which are unique evidences of the Moscow history of the past century. The pictures by Emil Gautier-Dufaye are accompanied with modern photos of the same places, with the same foreshortenings and perspectives which were made by photographers of the "Moscow Time" foundation in 2005-2013. The comparison of the pictures shows that some places haven't changed a lot and others are almost unrecognizable for modern persons. The exhibition should excite an interest to the history of Moscow, its streets and buildings which are changing every year and losing their historical look. The "Moscow Time" foundation is a nonprofit organization that carries out programs and conducts events in the area of culture, science, and education. The cultural and educational activity of the foundation is directed at studying Moscow and its historical traditions, documenting changes in Moscow photographically, and acquainting the wide public in Russia and abroad with the past and modern images of Moscow and its people. The foundation organizes and conducts exhibitions, publishes printed materials, and does charity work. The goal of the "Moscow Time" project is to demonstrate historical, architectural, cultural, and sociological changes that have occurred in the last century and a half in Moscow. For this, photographs of Moscow and its people of the late 19th–early 20th century are sought in archives. These photographs are digitized and repaired. Photographs of the same city sites are then taken from the same angles as were the old photographs. The pairs of photographs thus obtained are accompanied by literary texts or commentaries.
