About modernization

The exhibition hall "The Morning of the Space Era" is designed to arouse museum visitors’ pride and admiration of the historical achievements of the Soviet people in space exploration in 1960s-1970s.

The purpose of modernization is to create a new exposition, corresponding to the greatness of the theme, develop a new approach to present information and visual content, create a space with comfortable route for individual visitors, using modern materials, new artistic techniques and light-color solutions.

The second stage of modernization is planned for February-March 2019. It will include the development of the new exposition with new exhibits and exposition equipment, restoration of the stained-glass window, new color-light and sound design of the exhibition hall.
