At the opening of the exposition, the head of the region, Alexei Teklser, handed the general director of the Moscow Kremlin Museums, Elena Gagarina, a nameplate of the ambassador of the project “Chelyabinsk – the cultural capital of 2027”.

Chelyabinsk is the cultural capital of 2027, and we have been walking towards this status for a long time. Of course, this is the result of the work of the region, all our residents and the implementation of cultural policy. But we were helped by people of art and culture. One of our good assistants is Elena Yurievna, who is with us every year. And I would like to say a huge thank you for that! – said Alexei Texler.
