In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, it was decided not to hold large-scale festivities, including the festival on Tverskaya Street. Local events were held only at venues and in cultural institutions where safety measures can be observed. The theme of the celebration was “Museum Moscow”. The design of city parks and district sites reminded of the famous museum exhibitions of the capital.
