Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics

Memorial Museum of Astronautics
russia, Moscow
The Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics is located in the basement of the monument to the Conquerors of Space in honor of the launch of the First Artificial Earth Satellite. The height of the monument, standing at an inclination of 77 degrees, is 100 meters, and the weight is 250 tons. In 1967, the Heroes of Space Alley was opened in front of the monument, with busts of prominent scientists, space technology designers and the first Soviet cosmonauts. At the base of the obelisk is a monument to the great Russian scientist K.E. Tsiolkovsky.
In April 1981, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Yu.A. Gagarin’s flight and as the embodiment of S.P. Korolev’s plan, the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics was opened at the base of the monument, which presents evidence of the first successes and achievements of Soviet cosmonautics: spacesuits, artificial satellites of the Earth , unmanned space vehicles. In 2009, after a three-year reconstruction, with an increase in exhibition space to 8500 sq.m, the museum reopened to visitors, becoming one of the largest science and technology museums in the world.
The modern exposition consists of 8 thematic halls, a conference hall for 130 people and a cinema hall for 98 people. The museum has a life-size model of a fragment of the Mir station, inside which you can enter. An interactive hall of space quizzes "Kosmotrek" was opened. On the screen of the museum branch of the Mission Control Center, you can watch the movement of the ISS live with live communications. In total, the museum's collection contains more than 93 thousand exhibits: samples of rocket and space technology, personal belongings of astronauts, documents, philately and numismatics on the theme of space, collections of paintings and drawings, objects of arts and crafts. The structure of the Museum of Cosmonautics includes the Memorial House-Museum of Academician S.P. Queen located nearby. Near the entrance to the museum, a small square with a sculptural image of the planets of the solar system and a new monument to S.P. Korolev was built. The Alley of "Heroes of Space" was decorated with original light masts, illuminated benches and other decorative structures.

My story, rather, is about the children's perception of the museum, and about what mothers have time to see between catching children and saving museum property))) Saturday morning. The window shows non-flying weather. Well, excellent, we will devote the day to doing nothing! Children are allowed to do whatever they want, but within their own room. Dad is allowed to mind his own business (cars, of course), as there are no trips scheduled for today. Well, my mother, that is, I sat down at the laptop to plan things for tomorrow.
