The Delegation of the Government of Moscow Takes Part in Opening of Heritage Istanbul Exhibition

On April 1, the official opening of the Heritage Istanbul exhibition took place in Istanbul. Sergey Cheremin, Minister of the Government of Moscow and Head of the Department for External Economic and International Relations, attended the ceremony.

Speaking to the participants, Cheremin noted Moscow’s strong interest in cultural heritage preservation and highlighted the capital’s key achievements in this field:

“Over the past 11 years, Moscow has restored about 30% of all its historical monuments. The share of cultural and historical sites in poor condition has fallen to 3% – twelve times lower than in 2010. These results place Moscow among the world leaders in heritage preservation.”

On the same day, Sergey Cheremin took part in the opening of the Moscow stand, where the Russian capital is showcasing its latest achievements in cultural heritage preservation. The exposition brings together leading museum associations, restoration workshops, and innovative city projects. Visitors to the stand are introduced to cutting‑edge digital solutions, scientific approaches to restoring architectural monuments, and successful practices for integrating historical sites into the modern urban environment.

Moscow not only carefully preserves its own history but also shares its unique experience, reaffirming its status as a global leader in restoration.
