Stones That Speak: RUDN University Opens "Treasures of the Earth" Exhibition

On April 15, the Blue Coworking Space of the RUDN Scientific Library launched a project where nature acted as the main artist, and minerals became its paintings

The evening was officially opened by Elena Lotova, Director of the Library; Alexander Kotelnikov, Head of the Subsurface Management and Oil and Gas Engineering Department; and Vsevolod Aristov, Director of the "Key to the Earth" Geological Museum.

Guests and participants not only listened to the speeches but also became part of the program: a mineralogy quiz sparked genuine excitement.

The magic of stone in the lenses of photographers is now available to everyone in the main building. The exhibition is open — come and see masterpieces created without brushes or paints.

By the way! We have captured atmospheric photos from the opening for you. Scroll through the carousel — feel the energy of the minerals.
