Officials highlight energy‑saving LEDs with reusable designs.

Overview

  • City crews mounted the arches at Tverskaya, Manezhnaya and Pushkinskaya squares, Novopushkinsky Square, Kuznetsky Most, Revolution Square, and Kamergersky and Gazetny lanes.
  • The installations were modernized for programmable light and color dynamics with designs referencing major Moscow theaters.
  • The largest arch on Tverskaya evokes the Hermitage Theater facade, using about 35,000 LED modules and nearly 730 meters of LED neon.
