It is common knowledge that the official opening addresses are not in the least the most exciting part of the show. At last, all guests and visitors got a unique opportunity to explore and examine all mysteriously and seductively lit exhibits.
It is worth mentioning that the Opening Ceremony had considerable press coverage. All the materials and articles will be offered online (please, see section "Reports").Moreover, many famous representatives of artistic and political elite of Russia visited the exhibition.
A laser show was another pleasant surprise for the guests. It offered a neat mix of new technologies and the ancient art of calligraphy.
Upon the official opening, all guests switched their attention towards the rarest and most unbelievable exhibits. Calligraphic pens, books, figurines, yellowed parchments with calligraphic letters – the things everyone would want to see over and over again.
The presentation of the first handwritten copy of the Constitution of the Russian Federation still arouses great interest, being one of the most important events of the exhibition.
Calligraphy is a kind of music not for the ears, but for the eyes.
