The “Exhibition of National Economic Achievements” (what VDNKh stands for) is absolutely unique. With the futuristic monument to Conquerors of Space and Cosmos Hotel, and the massive statue of the Factory Worker and Collective Farmer, pavilions and whimsical fountains, in every imaginable style, separated by wide open squares and broad avenues – it’s all a giant monument to the Soviet Union. The foundation of the Space monument hosts a museum that will reveal the whole story of space adventures before you.
Highlights of the programme:
- Walk through the enormous complex of the Exhibition of Economic Achievements, the famous pavilions with mosaics, panels and stucco, the hallmark of the exhibition. You will partly define the route around the streets of this huge "city within the city" yourself, the guide will discuss the list of things you can see and respond to your interests and wishes. Explore the giant amusement park for 2 hours with its various attractions, exhibitions and museums, a sea aquarium and other interesting projects.
- Visit to the Museum of Cosmonautics: the idea of placing it in the stylobate of the monument to the Conquerors of Space belongs to Sergei Korolev, the man who stood at the origins of space rocket production in the USSR. The collection of this wonderful museum allows you to feel the immensity of the universe, to see rare unique exhibits, including moon rovers, automatic stations that have been in near-earth orbit, and even space suits for four-legged astronauts. Here you can get acquainted with the rocket engine designs and the history of the Soviet space programme, watch an exciting popular science film about the conquest of space and touch meteorites from the depths of space, an extensive collection of which is presented in the halls of the museum.
