A time to gather stones, an audio drama

Temporary exhibition

Target audience: Everyone (12+)

Cost: 600 RUB as a self-guided tour accompanied by an audio drama.

You may visit the exhibition without prior booking during the art space's opening hours.

The exhibition tells the story of the people whose hands have sculpted time from stone for three centuries—presented in the format of a modern social network, where the voices and faces of real heroes come alive in the feed. A special audio, created exclusively for the exhibition, turns the history of the factory into a powerful metaphor for being human. Experience the dialogue of Sound and Time: a transition from raw stone to precise mechanism, tracing the path from the initial strike against marble to the modern, rhythmic tick of the watch. Stone itself transforms into the beating heart of time. The character of Time is brought to life by S. Sytnik, Honored Artist of Russia and actor of the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg.

Past Exhibitions

Metelitsa: Pioneering Women

A story of the courage, bravery, and achievements of our pioneering women. Metelitsa was an all-female polar expedition team that completed 19 Arctic and 3 Antarctic expeditions starting in 1966. This team is recognized among the 200 most outstanding expeditions in human history. This exhibition is not only a tribute to these polar heroines but also an ode to the genius of Lyudmila Voynik, the designer behind the Raketa. In the 1970s, she played a key role in developing the legendary 24-hour movement for polar explorers.

Masters of Horology

This retrospective exhibition allows the very watches to narrate the genesis of the Raketa Watch Factory. Guests are invited to witness unique artifacts and follow the transformation of watchmaking in the USSR. We place a special focus on the design bureaus and visionary artists whose creations established the distinct, unmistakable aesthetic of Raketa watches. The exhibition further includes interactive displays where you can engage with diverse measuring devices, explore the intricacies of the watch movement, and learn the mechanics behind its rhythm.
