"While the City Sleeps" Photo Exhibition at VDNH

50 photographs taken by young and talented masters of the genre will show us the capital city as we very rarely see it: gentle, peaceful and deserted, under the earliest rays of sunlight. 

The "Mosgradexpo" Exhibition Center of Moscow Urban Development has timed the exhibition to coincide with Moscow's City Day. Everyone has heard the saying "Moscow never sleeps." We are used to Moscow always being in motion, filled with people, cars, and the buzz of business — everyone always rushing to get somewhere. But what is Moscow like when it wakes up under the first rays of the sun? How does its day begin? 

The exhibition will have 50 photos of our favourite city on display which show it as you have never seen it before — early in the morning, with no people, or cars, and fully relaxed, as it meets the first rays of the sun. The authors of the photos are young professionals; artists who have shared those unforgettable dawn hours with the city and touched upon the mystery of Moscow's awakening, when everything familiar is presented in a new, and even somewhat mysterious light. 

DATE & TIME: Daily, except Monday, from 11 am to 5 pm, from September 1 through October 30, 2016. 
VENUE: Pavilion No. 75, 2nd Floor, the area with the architectural replica of Moscow. 
PRICE: Free admission.
