A tour of the Lakhta Center observation deck is a unique opportunity to learn more about the complex which is globally recognized for its outstanding architecture, environmental sustainability and engineering solutions. Our guides will take you through the route where everyone will find something to his or her heart: from stories about the Lakhta Center’s construction period to photo-ready interiors and an elevator ride to Europe’s highest observation deck. You will also learn many interesting and surprising facts about the history of the country, the city and the place, gain a deep insight into history and catch a glimpse of the future.
LIVING ENVIRONMENT EXHIBITION
Exhibition of selected artworks from the collection of Gazprombank in the new space of the Lakhta Center.
The Living Environment exhibition offers a new look at the everyday life of our city as seen by artists and makes it possible to discover the hidden dimension of familiar things.
The exhibition features artworks from the collection of Gazprombank by different artists, from the recognized masters of Moscow conceptualism to the outstanding authors of the new generation. The paintings, graphics, installations, and photographs turn ordinary everyday details into works of art: Soviet sculpture enters into a dialog with skyscrapers, old children’s books come to life in a new form, and pipes and wires become everyday heroes.
Bonus: you will have a unique chance to visit the Planetarium space before its official opening. Video art shows featuring vivid digital artworks by media artists from Russia and Serbia are currently on display on the Planetarium dome screen. In parallel, a series of events arranged within the scope of the 1703 Art Fair Lecture Program will be held during the Living Environment exhibition.
