Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle had been Russian, this is where she would have lived.
The upside-down house in Moscow was built as an attraction for the
All-Russian Exhibition Center, an ongoing trade show that
sounds a little like a Russian World's Fair. It's not just upside-down from the outside, either; inside, the ceiling is the floor and all the furnishings are attached over visitors' heads.

Admission is 300 rubles, or about $9 at today's exchange rates.
