This fascinating Moscow museum sits in the shadow of the 100m-high (328ft) titanium Space Obelisk that has wonderful frescoes depicting Soviet space exploration. Nearby, the colonnaded House of the People's of Russia, with a 35m (115ft) golden spire topped with a huge star, is a prime example of Moscow’s classical Stalinist architecture and there is also a creaky Ferris wheel for the brave. The Fountain of the Friendship of Peoples forms the centrepiece for a plaza of nine pavilions that celebrate Soviet achievements in science. Outside the museum are two Tupolev passenger aircraft and a Vostok rocket of the same type that took Yuri Gagarin into space.
Did you snag that Zenit for our souvenir? :D
