International Space Week!

Dear guests,

From October 4 to October 11 we invite you to participate in the International Space Week! On the same day when 61 years ago Sputnik began the era of space exploration, we’ll be watching live broadcast of Oleg Artemyev, Andrew Feustel and Richard Arnold coming back from the ISS to Earth.

During the week we’ll be having topical lectures, museum tours and book signings, meeting with cosmonaut Alexander Laveikin, making a space-related bike tour around the city and even make some space jam with Sergei’s Korolev favourite fruit in his own house.

Please be prepared that the language of all the events is Russian and you will not be able to receive professional English commentary. However, you could invite your Russian-speaking friends with you and/or ask our staff for commentary afterwards or during the event depending on how busy they are.

To attend the events you need a valid museum ticket. For the bike tour you need to make arrangements beforehand (contact to organisators from VeloFlow tours via Whatsapp +7-977-724-24-89 or call the same number from 12:00 to 21:00 to get the details and prices).
