Matryoshka of Moscow lights up Zaryadye Park

In Zaryadye Park, a new attraction — the Matryoshka of Moscow — invites visitors on a spectacular visual journey across Russia, from Yakutia to Dagestan. Every evening at 7:00, 8:00, and 9:00 p.m., the 22-metre-tall kinetic installation comes to life, transforming through light, colour, music, and movement.

Made up of 1,500 moving media screens, the installation forms images of polar bears, golden fields, nomadic camps, and even the sacred tree Aal Luuk Mas. Created by Moscow engineers and designers, it symbolises the unity and diversity of Russia’s regions.

Technically unique, the structure includes a hydraulic system with a 60-tonne lifting capacity, built entirely with components produced in Moscow. The installation can change its shape in just one or two seconds. Its base is lined with LED screens that project over 20 visual stories — from the Made in Moscow local brands programme to Moscow Tea Time, the city’s first autonomous tram, and electric river boats.

From 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., the installation presents achievements of Moscow’s industries, and in the evening hours it turns into a luminous show for all ages, including children’s tales written by one of the most famous Russian poets, Alexander Pushkin.

Whether you’re exploring Zaryadye by day or night, don’t miss this breathtaking fusion of national culture and cutting-edge digital art — the Matryoshka of Moscow has already become one of the capital’s most recognisable landmarks.
