The central place in it is given to paintings by Roerich. If you are in Novosibirsk in the summer, then in the evening go to admire the musical fountains. It is in the evening, since during the day these are the most ordinary fountains, of which there are many in Russian cities. However, when it gets dark, a colorful light and music show begins. This is a floating fountain on the Ob embankment and near the Globus theater.
