News from projects and regions
The city of Moscow celebrated its 11th Museum Night on May 20, 2017. For the first time, the Gas Transmission Museum run by Gazprom Transgaz Moscow took part in the popular educational event organized by the city’s Department of Culture.
That night, the 100-plus visitors who had made their choice for the Gas Transmission Museum were in for a two-hour tour covering the 10-room main exhibition and the adjacent territory where they could see original pieces of equipment used in gas transmission in the 1940s and 1950s, such as an out-of-service Cooper-Bessemer gas engine compressor, a CLARK motor-generator set, and a NK-12ST gas turbine engine.
Classical music concert performed by RockoCo group outside Gas Transmission Museum building
In between the tours, the visitors were treated to an open-air concert of classical music by the RockoCo string group. The musicians impressed the audience with their remarkable performance of classical and modern pieces.
This year, new event formats were added to Museum Night under a special program entitled “Time of Discoveries.” The Gas Transmission Museum founded by Gazprom Transgaz Moscow, itself a discovery for attendees, offered its own exhibition format that fitted well with the event’s innovative approach.
