Head of METROPOL Group M.V. Slipenchuk Takes Part in Press Conference on “District 130”
At a press conference held on September 9, 2010 within the
framework of the 6th Baikal International Economic Forum, Head of
METROPOL Group M.V. Slipenchuk announced an initiative to implement
a Noosphere Museum project in Irkutsk. The museum-cum-planetarium
will be housed in district 130, scheduled for redevelopment during
the year of the 350th anniversary of Irkutsk. A corresponding
decision was taken at a closed-door meeting of Head of METROPOL
Group M.V. Slipenchuk and Governor of the Irkutsk Region D.F.
Mezentsev.
The project provides for construction of the Baikal Museum, a
vaulted hall for lectures on astronomy to be accompanied by star
shows, and an astronomical tower equipped with telescopes. The
museum concept is designed to embody mankind’s key knowledge of the
noosphere in one project. As conceived by M.V. Slipenchuk,
Candidate of Science (Geography), the museum should apply the most
advanced technologies and present to its visitors the most
significant and interesting information on water, land, and the
outer space displayed on three floors with a total area of 800
square meters.
The Group includes six battery plants and business units developing and introducing new technologies, and distributing products.
