Museum of Siberian Heat

Exhibition Design
2026

In collaboration with the Melnichenko Foundation, Radugadesign developed an interactive pavilion, "Museum of Siberian Heat," dedicated to the coal industry.

The pavilion's architecture is inspired by the shape of the Yenisei, the region's main river. The concept combines the river's flow with the energy generated by coal and humans producing heat.

The pavilion features eight interactive zones. Visitors explore the history of coal's origins, from exploring the infrastructure of Russia's largest open-pit coal mines to experiencing the thrill of operating an ERShRD-5250 rotary excavator.
