The Monument to the Conquerors of Space was erected at Prospekt Mira in Moscow. This outstanding city landmark has been jointly designed by architects Michail Barsh and Andrey Kolchin, and sculptor Andrey Faydish-Krandiyevskiy. September 28th, 1967 Soviet government initiates founding of the Museum of Cosmonautics at the foot of the Monument to the Conquerors of Space to commemorate nation's achievements in space exploration. The Museum of Cosmonautics opens its doors to public on April 10th, 1981, 20th Anniversary of the first manned space flight. Museum exposition gives a retrospect on how Soviet space science evolved starting from first man-made satellites subsequently followed by the first manned space flight, first space walks, Moon exploration programs, Solar system exploration programs and international space research programs. Intricate interior design and unusual exposition altogether created a unique individuality of the Museum. However, new times set new standards. 25 years since its first opening the Museum has been closed down for a massive renovation. Now the Museum shows all the newly accumulated information and latest technologies.
The Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics is also known as the Memorial Museum of Astronautics or Memorial Museum of Space Exploration. The museum contains a wide variety of Soviet and Russian space-related exhibits and models which explore the history of flight, astronomy, space exploration, space technology, and space in the arts. It is well represented and separated by space missions for easier understanding. To my surprise, half of the programs or space missions I have never heard of or i have only heard partially, and being so advanced back then makes you wonder about Space program noways! The expos vary from Space capsule used by Yuri Gagarin to propaganda posters. The museum inexpensive, ticketing price rules apply differently for different age group and its worth paying extra for guide or translator if needed. Small gift shop offers interesting mineral selection and pieces of Siberian meteor as souvenir, The space cafeteria is pretty cool, as time transfers you to era of 60's-70' with decor and offers Space food in tubes that is also cool gift souvenir. Do not miss walk around too, the view on Cosmos Hotel is pretty impressive.

Visitors to the exhibition will see-among many other things-the great feats of heroes and diplomats, examples of holiness, sacrificial love for the Motherland and bitter lessons of apostasy and betrayal. For the attentive viewer, the well-known pages of history as well as those that have been forgotten will become an unexpected key to understanding the present
