Open Ocean Halls: Pacific Time
Cities by the ocean follow their own rhythm. Time is measured in partings and meetings, by anticipating and returning. Time and space are perceived differently here, in a way that cannot be counted in seconds or kilometres. ‘Open Ocean Halls: Pacific Time’ is a tale of the rhythm of Vladivostok, a rhythm that has been lived, is lived, and will be lived for generations.
Ships and People: The Russian-Japanese War
This exhibition features the people and ships involved at the end of the war between the Russian and Japanese empires. The city of Vladivostok and the Pacific Fleet played a vital part in this war. The ships of the Vladivostok cruiser squadron were involved in the campaigns and many of those who fought in the war were natives of the city. Personal belongings, photographs, and diary entries provide an opportunity to look at the key episodes in the Russian-Japanese War without a textbook, living their stories of victory and defeat.

You can gain entry to the museum by showing your EEF 2018 badge.
Please note that guided tours and other additional services must be paid for separately.

The brick building dates from the early twentieth century. It is the only surviving house in Russia where the prominent traveller, explorer, and writer Vladimir Arseniev lived with his family and worked. The previously unknown Ussurian Territory was opened up thanks to his work in various fields of science (geology, geography, toponymy, cartography, biology, archaeology, ethnography, history, and others). Filling in the blanks on geographical, ethnographic, and other maps, he not only made a vital contribution to opening up the territory, but also created a full picture of life there through artistic works like Dersu Uzala and In the Sikhote-Alin Mountains.

The only museum devoted to the tsar’s official in Russia and one of the few surviving nineteenth-century wooden mansions in Vladivostok. The family of Alexander Sukhanov, the Senior Advisor in the Primorsky Regional Government who, in 1891, received a valuable gift from the future Nicholas II in person – a portrait and a Bure gold watch ‘for the excellent condition of the roads and good order in the region’, lived in this house for a quarter of a century.

This exhibition devoted to the International Tchaikovsky Competition, drawing on the collections of the Russian National Museum of Music and the archives of the competition itself, will present photographs depicting the competition opening and closing ceremonies, competitors drawing lots to determine the order in which they will perform, auditions, jury discussions, the triumph of tutors, and the award of prizes, as well as items illustrating the life and work of this great Russian composer.

The exhibition is located on the ground floor in the atrium of the Primorsky Stage of the Mariinsky Theatre Great Hall and is open to all those visiting the theatre to see a production.

Kuzbass Art Gallery is a unique space which combines history with modernity, and technology with a classical approach to exhibiting works of art.
The paintings and sculptures on display will create a retrospective exhibition – these are works produced in the course of the last 70 years, from the 1950s onward.
In the interactive art space, visitors will have the opportunity to get to know works of art in more detail with the help of ‘living canvas’ technology.

Admission is free for all EEF 2018 participants.

The Primorsky Aquarium is the world’s third largest aquarium. The total interior area exceeds 37,000 m²: almost five football pitches are concealed within the building, which is built in the form of a slightly opened white oyster. The left wing of the aquarium holds the main pool with a 70-metre underwater tunnel. The right wing features a dolphin aquarium with a pool and stands that can accommodate 800 spectators. It’s the country’s first and only aquarium that is part of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The exhibitions are devoted to a single scientific concept: visitors can trace a path from the beginning of ocean life to its present diversity in all of the planet’s seas and climatic zones. Around 500 species of marine life have been brought together under the Aquarium’s ‘shell’, with the largest including a walrus, dolphins and Beluga whales.

A display of marine mammal skills is held in the Aquarium’s dolphinarium at 11:00 and 15:00.

Please present your EEF 2018 badge to gain access to the Aquarium.

The S-56 was commissioned by the Pacific Fleet on 20 October 1941. Following the orders of the Supreme High Command Headquarters on 7 October 1942 she joined other submarines and left Vladivostok for Polyarniy base to reinforce the Northern Fleet. Having sailed a distance totaling 17 thousand miles through 2 oceans and 9 seas the S-56 arrived to Polyarniy on 8 March 1943.
After the Great Patriotic War in October 1954 the submarine took the Northern Sea Route to return to Vladivostok and continued its service within the Pacific Navy, becoming one of the first submarines to complete a journey around the world.

On the day of the 30th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War the decommissioned submarine was open for visits at Korabelnaya embankment as part of the Pacific Fleet Naval History Museum.

A joint celebration of the Days of Peace in the Pacific from leading Russian graphic artists as part of the ‘I Sing, My Fatherland’ series of events. The project was created as a means to unite the artistic space in Russia.
