And where exactly is the space museum at the VVC? How to get to him? And do you have parking there? Will it be interesting with the children, too? Here, perhaps, is not a complete list of questions that are almost constantly asked by the Muscovites themselves, who have finally allocated time for active recreation by the whole family, and, of course, guests of the Russian capital. Let's try to answer them in more detail.
The museum is located at the foot of the Monument to the Conquerorsspace "near the metro station" VDNH "and VVC. In his funds are stored archives and personal belongings of pioneers of Russian cosmonautics (Tsiolkovsky, Tsander and Korolev) and the first cosmonauts.
Among the exhibits are the first satellite, the stuffed squirrel andArrows, a capsule for the dogs Kozyavka and Brave, samples of soil from the Moon, the descent vehicle of the ship "Vostok", on which Yu. Gagarin landed, etc. By the way, not everyone knows that the space museum not returned from space, the space museum at the All-Russian Exhibition Center presents in the form of exact copies.
Supplement to museum subjects isbeautiful design of the halls and 3D movies. In memory of the excursion you can buy themed souvenirs: food for astronauts, medals from metal ships, etc.
The ticket price depends on the excursionprogram and additional services (200-7500 rubles). On weekends and holidays there are group excursions (not less than 5 people), the price of which is from 150 to 600 rubles.
Every third Sunday of the month, the entrance for museum visitors is free. For certain categories of the population, there is also a free visit on ordinary days.
The excursion is ordered by phone or in a museum.
A little later in front of him created the Alley of Heroesspace. Now it is a favorite vacation spot not only for locals, but also for numerous tourists. Children here can ride a roller, scooter or bike, which they with enormous pleasure and do at the first opportunity.
The opening of the museum was timed to the 20th anniversary of the flightYu Gagarin in space and took place in April 1981. It should be noted that the Museum of Astronautics at that time occupied an area of 3200 square meters, of which only 800 square meters were used. In the halls were exhibited more than 100 exhibits, including samples of space technology and equipment of astronauts.
For today only in museum fundsmore than 85 000 items are stored. In May 2006 the museum was closed for reconstruction, after which an additional area of 4500 sq.m. appeared. Three years later, in April, a new and very interesting exposition was opened. This helped attract even more curious visitors.
In the exhibition halls there are guides to the museum, and all information about space objects can be obtained on interactive panels.
For children, a cafe is organized in which you can not only have a snack, but also eat tightly. Prices are moderate, because they are designed for people of different social strata.
The surrounding area has also become more interesting, it wants to visit, even without going to the exhibition. Even on weekdays on benches, you can meet holidaymakers of different ages.
