«For us, Krasnoyarsk citizens, the Universiade was like a turning point, in that we opened our city to the whole world. We want this museum to remind us of this event. It is commonly believed that the time itself is stopped in museums, but certainly not in this one, because the latest technologies were used to make it, and the exhibits seem to overflow with the energy of youth. I’m sure the museum will be interesting for both tourists and Krasnoyarsk locals, including very young children,» – Sergei Eremin stated.
