The first Yandex Station will be on display at the Moscow Design Museum, located in the New Tretyakov Gallery.

The Moscow Design Museum's collection has been expanded with an original first-generation Yandex Station. The device symbolizes the beginning of the Alice era and a milestone in industrial design—a completely new category of home electronics controlled by virtual assistants. "The Museum's collection includes not just a first-generation smart speaker, but a historic piece. This is literally the first Yandex Station ever sold, received by the Museum from an owner who purchased the device in 2018," explains Alexandra Sankova, General Director of the Moscow Design Museum. The original Yandex Station was available in three colors—black, gray, and purple—but only black devices were available at launch. The Station's appearance laid the foundation for the original design code of Yandex smart speakers: the speaker's body is made of plastic and aluminum, a parallelepiped with rounded edges. Inside the body are five acoustic elements. In addition to Yandex engineers, external teams and research institutes participated in the development of the first Station. Specifically, the rights to the Voice Quality Enhancement technology were transferred by the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits. The first-generation Station will be part of the Design Museum's permanent exhibition "110 | Russian Design 1915–2025." The speaker will be displayed alongside early prototypes of the same device, which its creators and Yandex agreed to donate.
