On December 29, in the park on the Moskva River embankment in Kapotnya, the exhibition "Atlas Kapotnya" opens, which is dedicated to the nature, history and traditions of the region. Atlas Kapotnya is a satellite exhibition of the Museum of Moscow project “Moscow without outskirts. Kapotnya ".

Stands with photographs and short texts will tell you about life in Kapotnya from a variety of points of view. One part of the exhibition offers a close look at the world of creatures that live very close, and seeks to show the value and amazing structure of natural systems that are well known to us. At 15 stands, macro photographs of the heroes of nature - our neighbors - are presented: they can be found in Kapotnya and other districts of Moscow. Each of them has adapted to the urban environment and has become an important part of the ecological reality of our city. Photographs by Viktor Lyagushkin, National Geographic Regular Photographer, Nikon Ambassador.

Another part of the exhibition will present the area from the point of view of the memory of the place - these are stories about what residents live and are proud of. The history of the region is not just dry facts, but events and actions that took place and are happening in it every day. The occupations of the residents of Kapotnya tell about the past and the present, about everyday life and great achievements. Photos courtesy of the Moscow Oil Refinery and the Museum of Moscow.

Especially for the opening of the exhibition in the park, the Museum of Moscow has released an audio guide that will make walking around the area more informative. The listeners will learn why the area is called Kapotnya, where to find a real winter garden and who lives in a pond near the plant’s walls. To download the audio guide voiced by the theater and film actor Anton Kukushkin, you need to scan a special QR code located at the stands. Also, the staff of the Museum of Moscow released a video tour of the area. Moscow expert Daria Bulgakova will tell about the most important sights of Kapotno - soaring eco-trails, the Moscow oil refinery, the swan pond and other local locations.
