Space Museum



  The museum is accommodated in the stilobate of the monument "To Conquerors of space" which is one of the most famous monument in Moscow. The Memorial museum of cosmonautics was solemnly opened on April 10, 1981, in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the first space flight performed by the inhabitant of the Earth - Yu. Gagarin. The idea of creation of the museum belongs to S. Korolev , the Chief Designer of the space - rocket systems.

  A new museum complex in the capital of great space power reflects the real history of space achievements, based on scientific facts and with the help of modern museum technologies. In special zones it was installed interactive exhibits similar to those of Gagarin Cosmonauts Training Center.
