In total, the exposition was visited by about 125 thousand school students.

Free admission has also been provided for elderly Muscovites since December 2025. In total, the exhibition was visited by about 10 thousand pensioners.

According to Sobyanin, the Moscow authorities will continue to develop Pavilion No. 1 Central at VDNH as a flagship museum site.
"In 2026, we plan to organize a number of other exciting inter-museum projects in the capital. For example, the exhibition "Old Beijing: Spring Festival" will open at the Moscow Museum, "Terracotta Warriors: Legacy of the First Emperor" at the State Historical Museum, and the II Moscow International Biennale "Art of the Future" at the Multimedia Art Museum," said Sobyanin.
