We believe that motorcycle is a major piece of technical art of our civilization. We also believe that this “metal art on canvas” had it’s own Golden era, which held its part between 1930 and 1945. Among many reasons, the main one is a thrilling race in technologies that happened just before World War II. The collection presented to your attention is a product of love of millions of people, multiplied by analysis and mathematics. We present you rebuilt motorcycles in “ready to run” condition with displacement over 750 cubic centimeters from all continents. According to the set criteria, we have the most complete collection (or even the only one!) in the world, where a resident of Austria, Belgium, Great Britain, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Poland, the USSR, USA, France, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Sweden and Japan can personally see with trepidation the handiwork of his great-grandfathers.

Along many airplanes, tanks, missiles, guns and other military equipment you can see here one of the biggest diesel-electric submarine in the world, B-307. To find such a steel monster sleeping in this big complex was a really nice thing to see. Not so many people get the chance to see a live military submarine, especially on ground. Submarine B-307, Tango class, 91m long and 2000t weight is one of the biggest diesel engine submarines ever built found is rest in Sakharov Technical Museum after a one year and half trip on ground. Very interesting the story about how this huge submarine after a 2246km long trip on water from Kronstadt, near Sank Petersburg found its place in Sakharov Technical Museum in Togliatti. From Togliatti docks up to actual location i took about one year and a half for moving the steel beast without dissembling it, special road it was made by local authorities for this special operation. The submarine can be visited also inside but only with a guide and only at certain times...you can check the schedule before paying a visit. This time i didn't had got the chance to visit inside but next time i will go just for this visit. Also you can see live tanks like T-34, T-55, T-80, IS-3, ISU-152, Katyusha Rocket Launcher and many more. Planes like: MIG-31, MIG-29, Sukhoi SU-24, TU-16 , YAK-27P and many more. Helicopters: MiL-26, MiL-24, MiL-6 and many more. If you visit Togliatti and you have a passion for technology and army this is a must see place!
