      • The arch was built in 1954 to a design by Innokenty Melchakov during the post-war reconstruction of the exhibition.
      • The five-span gate was conceived as a triumphal arch in honour of victory in the war.
      • The earlier main entrance of 1939, designed by Leonid Polyakov, is now called the North Entrance.
      • The arch is crowned by Sergey Orlov's Tractor Driver and Collective Farm Girl sculpture, clad in gold smalt.
      • The restoration begun in 2017 was the first in the arch's history.
      • The exhibition itself opened on 1 August 1939 and now covers 240 hectares.
