History of Russia: Exhibition “Uniting Russia: from the Tsarskoe Selo Railway to the Great Siberian Route” presented in Novosibirsk

The exhibition Uniting Russia: from the Tsarskoe Selo Railway to the Great Siberian Route has opened in Novosibirsk. The exhibition project, the participants of which are the Tsarskoe Selo Museum-Reserve, the Russian Railway Museum and the State Archive of the Russian Federation, is timed to coincide with the 185th anniversary of the opening of the first Tsarskoe Selo Railway in Russia and the 130th anniversary of the founding of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Novosibirsk is the third location in the route of a large-scale exhibition project, which was launched last year, after Vladivostok and Irkutsk. The exposition repeats the route of the return from a trip to the East of the future Emperor Nicholas II in 1891: Vladivostok – Irkutsk – Novosibirsk – Chelyabinsk.

The exhibition is held in the Novosibirsk Historical Park “Russia – My History”. It opens a series of festive events, marking the 130th anniversary of the founding of Novosibirsk. The third largest city in Russia began its history on August 20, 1983, when a railway bridge over the Ob River was laid during the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

The exhibition will run until the end of March.
