YELTSIN CENTER.

First Russian Presidential Center.

First Russian Presidential Center

YELTSIN CENTER is combining a museum, the business center, social and active urban functions. Such a combination makes the object to be a real modern cultural center and an attraction point for residents and tourists.
YELTSIN CENTER does not need a new building construction, it is placed in the existing building in Yekaterinburg, completing it with fresh ultramodern architectural concept. Such an approach emphasizes aspiration of the first Presidential center to restore the existing hidden resources of the city and to create new public spaces.
Due to the esthetic and information relevance the museum becomes a cohesive element between generations, a symbol of the present and the future. Thus, the Center is interactive and it offers visitors not only museum function, but also the functions to attract the attention of very wide audience.
