The ancient history in the concept is fed through modern technology to make archaeology interesting to everyone. Primitive and contemporary art here combine at the point of harmony of time and space, science and culture, nature and civilization.

The concept of art unfolds through its different directions. The entire project area is divided into 4 meaningful zones: architecture, decorative and applied art, sculpture and audiovisual art. Each of them has a theme museum. The mobile audiovisual installations are carefully integrated into protected areas, where, through their emotional experience, the world of ancient man is seen as understandable and intimate.

The project has developed a variety of routes and scenarios for visiting the future park of primitive art visitors will be able to get a unique experience every time, returning to Kostenki-Borschevo-Arkhangelskoye. It's a place of discovery, where you get to know the past, where you get inspired, where you become a creator.
