VDNKh is a permanent general purpose trade show and amusement/leisure park in Moscow. The park first opened in 1939 with ten pavilions, and has since expanded to over 200 buildings. A friend and I saw two exhibits during our time at VDNKh: the Moscow Mockup and Smart City, both new displays focused on modern Moscow and showcasing how the city is developing.
Precisely as advertised, the Moscow Mockup is a miniature mockup of Moscow. There are six different video kiosks that allow you to view the mockup via cameras you can control to zoom in on different areas of the city. Each camera can access each part of the city, just from different angles. The kiosks each feature identical touchscreens that allow you to select a point of interest and automatically hone in on that location.
