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 Museum of Cosmonauts and the whole area
It was great to visit this place! As we found out, not all the muscovites have been there. The lights in the evening and the huge skating rink were nice to watch. Our goal was the Museum of Cosmonauts and that was really worth seeing. However, we missed one thing: more English translations!!!!

Out of this world - great place to visit
Great place to visit. The monument to the conquerors of Space is very impressive / inspiring. Very surprised at how much is contained in the museum underneath, some very interesting pieces. Clearly Uri Gagarin was a brave and lucky man, the colleagues he trained with must have been a bit miffed at being the first person ever into space. We were lucky, planned to go on the Monday and it was closed, but a lovely sunny day for a walk around Moscow. So we went on a very wet Tuesday - and this was the perfect place for a wet day. If you get time go.
