The ‘Zvenigorod Armoury’ exhibition of archaeological discoveries has been curated using items excavated at the Central Ring Road construction site near the town of Zvenigorod, in Moscow Region. Among the exhibits, there are a large number of wonderfully preserved items illustrating religious devotion, daily customs and habits, and armaments. The crowning glory of the collection are the unique military helmets belonging to Ivan the Terrible’s ‘hand-picked thousand’, his corps of elite troops in sixteenth century Russia. Guests and participants of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum will be able to see these incredibly rare discoveries during the period May 31 to June 3, 2017.
The exhibition is located in pavilion H, in front of the entrance to the Governors’ Club.
The Library is located in the heart of St. Petersburg, on Senatskaya Ploshchad, opposite the Bronze Horseman. Visitors will have an opportunity to spend time in the refurbished interiors of the Synod building, built by Carlo Rossi, to take in an exhibition on the history of the building, and to see unique documents from the repositories of the first national electronic library in Russia. Guided tours will take place twice daily, at 16:00 and 19:00. Groups should assemble and participants meet their guides in the main foyer of the Presidential Library.
Please present your SPIEF 2017 participant badge to join the tour.
Created by the best architects, the Peterhof fountains form a UNESCO World Heritage complex and symbolise Russia's cultural splendour. The water cascades are music brought to life; they embody the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classicism eras.

The modern musical fountain will complement the list of Peterhof's landmark sites as another centre of attraction for local residents and visitors alike.
