AKADEMGORODOK SIGHTSEEING TOUR \u201cFROM PAST TO FUTURE\u201d
\n<\/span><\/strong>Akademgorodok, a district of Novosibirsk built in 1957 under the auspices of Academician M.A. Lavrentyev, is a place of special atmosphere and unique combination of science and culture. The Utopian project realized by a team of young scientist in the sixties won fame over the whole world with its achievements. The dream came true and still exists and develops. Akademgorodok is a place of power and freedom. Why is it so far-famed? What is the history of its creation? What is its power? What was the feature of Akademgorodok in its early days and what is going on here today? All these questions and many others will be answered during the tours of our Integral Museum.\u00a0The tour begins from the place of origin of Akademgorodok with a romantic name \u201cThe Golden Valley\u201d. Our guests are going to know how it all was started, then we drive by Morskoy Prospekt and tell why is it named \u201cMorskoy\u201d (the Sea Avenue); we are going to stop near the House of Scientists and talk about avant-garde exhibitions of the sixties in it. Then we get to Novosibirsk State University down the Il\u2019icha street (its architectural design was exhibited in the World Exhibition in Montreal in 1967), and then, moving toward researching institutes, we tell our guests the intriguing story of the club \u201cUnder the Integral\u201d. Afterward we come to the extraordinary \u201cMouse Memorial\u201d, talk about the present and future of science and finish our tour near the illustrious towers of Technopark.<\/p>\n
