Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics
Undoubtedly one of the most significant Moscow science and technology museums is the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics. The museum, a display of one of the top achievements of the former Soviet Union and established in Moscow simultaneously, commemorates the beginning of space exploration and the Soviet government's access to space travel. This significant history and background of the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics alone attracts tourists on tour to Russia. Still, there's also helpful information about former Soviet Union and current Russian Federation space programs and other nations' space programs. The route that tourists must take to reach the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics is an all-pedestrian route known as the Cosmonautics Alley. On this street, visitors will see a statue of all the figures who worked to make the Soviet government access space and eventually reach the famous Conquerors of Space monument. The Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics is located just below this monument.
