The Multimedia Historical Park 'Russia – My History' is a digital museum complex in St. Petersburg that utilizes touch-screen technology and high-definition projections to display Russian history from the Rurik dynasty to the present. The facility is part of a nationwide network of historical parks established to digitize archival materials and make them accessible through interactive interfaces. Exhibits feature animated maps, interactive quizzes, and panoramic theaters rather than traditional static artifacts. The content is structured into distinct chronological modules, including periods such as the Romanov dynasty and the 20th century. The complex serves as both an educational center and a venue for temporary historical exhibitions. Located within the ExpoForum complex, it occupies a modern, purpose-built space designed for high-capacity multimedia installations.
