Prepare for an enthralling journey delving into the cultural riches of BRICS nations, viewed from the extraordinary vantage point of outer space. The Museum of Cosmonautics in Moscow unveiled the “BRICS Universe” exhibition on February 1st, featuring awe-inspiring photographs of UNESCO World Heritage Sites captured by Russian cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Ivan Vagner during their missions aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Beyond showcasing the breathtaking imagery captured by these cosmonauts, the exhibition will present works by other talented photographers, providing a multifaceted exploration of the cultural marvels nestled within BRICS member states.
Visitors will have the opportunity to engage in a heartwarming initiative dubbed “Send Space Greetings,” as reported by TV BRICS. This initiative enables participants to send complimentary letters adorned with captivating Earth photographs taken by the cosmonauts to any city in Russia. It serves as a remarkable chance to connect with loved ones and share the awe-inspiring beauty of our planet from an unparalleled perspective.
Although the Museum of Cosmonautics at VDNKh will host the exhibition’s inaugural display in Russia, its journey doesn’t conclude there. It is slated to traverse various Russian cities before embarking on an international tour, captivating audiences in Brazil, India, China, South Africa, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, and Ethiopia.
In these countries, attendees can anticipate exciting encounters with the cosmonauts who spearheaded this project. If you find yourself in any of these destinations during the exhibition’s scheduled dates, seize the unique opportunity to connect with these space explorers and gain insights into their remarkable experiences.
Mark your calendars! The “BRICS Universe” exhibition will be open to the public in Moscow until March 10, according to the official website of the Moscow government.
