Pavilion No. 44 “Rabbit Breeding”
Pavilion No. 44 “Rabbit Breeding” is located in the north-eastern part of VDNKh, behind the Fourth Kamensky Pond at the address: Prospekt Mira, Building 119, Building 44.
In 1939, the building was located on the site of today’s building 41. Various breeds of rabbits bred in the Soviet Union were demonstrated here, and information was provided on how to increase the number of livestock and care for these animals.
The modern building was built for the opening of the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition in 1954. It is raised on a small stylobate with a central staircase, on the parapets of which decorative concrete vases are installed. The concave façade of the pavilion is divided by high niches. The two central ones are decorated with semicircular shell-shaped tops – a motif borrowed from the Renaissance. In these niches are installed two concrete sculptures of rabbit-breeding girls with rabbits in their arms, created according to the design of sculptors Nikolai Rozov and Zinaida Snigir. Of interest is the sculptural frieze at the top of the façade with images of rabbits and baby rabbits.
The pavilion was very popular with both rabbit breeders and young naturalists. In 1973, the space was expanded by adding an extension, which housed the “Fur Farming” exhibition. Until 1999, the pavilion operated for its intended purpose, but was later abandoned and fell into disrepair.
During the restoration of the facades, the figures of rabbits were recreated, and the statues of girls were put in order. Work on the return of two paired sculptures of rabbits standing on the corner parapets of the roof was carried out for six months.
The interior features restored columns and pilasters made of ossicle marble, stucco decoration of ceilings and capitals, and chandeliers made of artistic metal. The historical parquet was also recreated, using the surviving planks. The coffered ceiling of the exhibition hall was cleared of numerous paint layers, then specialists removed traces of leaks and completed the losses. In addition, the display windows on the side facades and the front door block were partially restored. In addition, during the work in pavilion No. 44, all engineering systems were updated, adapting the premises for modern use.
