Description

The Museum of Cosmonautics in Moscow is a renowned institution dedicated to the history and achievements of space exploration. Located at 111 Prospekt Mira near the VDNKh metro station, the museum sits beneath the impressive 107-meter Monument to the Conquerors of Space, built in 1964. Since its opening in 1981, it has become a central hub showcasing Russia’s pioneering contributions to space technology and exploration.

Inside, visitors can see a wide array of fascinating exhibits, including original spacecraft like the Vostok and Soyuz capsules, lunar soil samples, meteorites, and personal belongings of cosmonauts. The museum also offers interactive displays and multimedia presentations that highlight the evolution of space missions and the challenges astronauts have faced. A notable highlight is the bio-printer “Organ.Avt,” which flew on the Soyuz MS-10 mission in 2018.

The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with extended hours until 9:00 PM on Thursdays and Saturdays. It is closed on Mondays. Admission is affordable, with fees for adults, students, pensioners, and families, while young children and veterans can enter for free. Easily accessible by metro, the museum is wheelchair friendly and provides amenities like a café and a gift shop. Visitors are advised to dress warmly, as Moscow’s weather can be cool, especially outside. For a deeper experience, the nearby Cosmonautics and Aviation Centre offers additional exhibits, simulators, and a 5D cinema.
