Participants of the tour groups embarked on a journey from the fantasies of great writers and thinkers to the real achievements of renowned scientists and engineers. Guided by an experienced tour leader, visitors began their journey at the \u201cLibrary of the Future,\u201d where they learned how Jules Verne, Kir Bulychev, and other writers envisioned the world of the future, inspiring generations of scientists and inventors. Participants discovered which ideas have become reality, which are still awaiting their realization, and drew inspiration for developing their own ideas and future achievements.<\/p>\n

The next stop was the \u201cHall of Inventions,\u201d showcasing how writers\u2019 fantasies translate into real technologies. Many dreams have become part of everyday life, such as communication devices, tablets, and even robotic vacuum cleaners.<\/p>\n

The final destination of the tour was an art gallery featuring works by young artists from around the world. Artists from Russia, China, Iran, India, Ethiopia, and Brazil expressed their vision of the future through paintings, sculptures, and art installations, reflecting their cultural and national perspectives and traditions.<\/p>\n

In total, 957 people attended the tours over three days, including 203 international guests.<\/p>\n

Besides the National Center, some Symposium participants also attended two special tours around Moscow: a river and a bus tour. The bus tour focused on the architectural heritage of Soviet avant-garde. Guests saw unique buildings like the Zuyev Workers\u2019 Club on Lesnaya Street, the white fa\u00e7ade of the Narkomfin building in the Shalyapin Garden, and the elegant Mostorg building on 1905 Street. All these structures symbolize the dreams of creators for a bright future.<\/p>\n

The river tour along the Moscow River started at the quay in the City and concluded at the Floating Bridge in Zaryadye Park. This tour was a journey through time: guests viewed the oldest architectural monuments of Moscow and its most modern structures symbolizing progress and the future. Highlights included the Moscow State University building named after M.V. Lomonosov, Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure, Vorobyovy Gory, St. Basil\u2019s Cathedral, and other landmarks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
