Upside Down House – Moscow’s New Tourist Attraction
The idea of an upside down house attraction is not new, but continues to gain popularity worldwide. A house on display at the All-Russian Exhibition Center in Moscow is built to resemble a typical European summerhouse with one exception — it’s upside down. Visitors will discover that even the curtains and contents of the fridge all have been installed upside down, appearing in an unusual perspective. And, by inverting photographs, the visitors themselves can be upside down as well.
It is worth noting that the “Upside Down House in Moscow” is actually not the first building of its kind in Russia, but the first public attraction. Not so long ago, a Repino resident built an upside down house for himself, to live in.
UnusualPlaces Field Notes
- Location
- Historic Upside Down House at VDNKh (All-Russian Exhibition Center), Prospekt Mira 119, Moscow, Russia; exact former footprint unconfirmed.
- Access
- The article describes the 2014 Upside Down House at VDNKh. Afisha lists that venue as permanently closed; TripAdvisor independently marks its Moscow listing closed. Smile Park currently lists a separately named “Upside Down City” at Pavilion 55, but no reliable source reviewed proves it is the same house or a continuation. Do not travel expecting the article’s attraction to be open.
- Admission
- No current admission price applies to the 2014 VDNKh house because its listing is marked permanently closed. Afisha displays RUB 300 without a date; this is not a verified current price.
- Time needed
- No current visit duration applies because the 2014 VDNKh attraction is listed permanently closed. Smile Park gives 25–40 minutes for its separate Pavilion 55 attraction, whose identity as this article’s subject is unconfirmed.
- Best season
- No visitor season is recommended for the 2014 attraction because it is listed permanently closed. Do not substitute seasonal advice for the separate Pavilion 55 attraction.
- Opening hours
- The Afisha listing for the article’s 2014 VDNKh venue says “closed permanently.” Current Pavilion 55 hours belong to a separately named attraction; no source reviewed establishes it as the same house.
