Can you visit all the pavilions in one day or is it something that needs to be spread out over several days to ‘really’ see all the displays?
Thanks for the photos. It looks to be an amazing place.
What is the cost to enter the pavilions?
Cheers,
C.
The opening hours of the pavilions are from 10.00 to 19.00. Outdoor area: in summer (May - September) - until 22.00, in winter - until 20.00. In one day you can get around everything, but it’s hard both mentally and physically.
That is why I dream of making or buying a mobile home: not to go to nature, but to relax in the city near the museum.
Open area for free. A ticket to each pavilion separately at a price of 300 rubles. There is a combined ticket to 3 pavilions for 700 rubles.
The town is small and there are not many hotels. Although there is even one with a swimming pool, sauna, bathhouse, tennis court.
PS. I like to answer questions: you yourself learn a lot of new things. On this scheme, near the automobile museum, there are not two (as I thought), but six new pavilions. Yes, and to the museum itself, another half was attached!
Hot on the heels of a recent trip. Removing white spots.
In my first review of the museum , I spoke rather superficially about the open exhibition, mainly about my favorite armored vehicles, for the purpose of first acquaintance. I left entire layers of exhibits outside the scope of the narrative, and they deserve at least a mention.
The oldest aircraft composition
obscured by a commercially profitable go-kart track. And the seaplane included in it remains, in my opinion, in the status of the first model. Surely everyone had one – crookedly assembled, painted with a brush, proudly demonstrated to their mother (wife) with approval and standing in the far corner for years – out of sight in wretchedness, but causing nostalgia
and pride in the excellence now achieved, personified, in this case, by soaring jet fighters.
And I didn’t tell you that there are two more aircraft in front of the “Wings of Victory” pavilion
During the previous visit, the railway component was unavailable, so I will briefly mention it.
That’s exactly how the railroad exposition it doesn’t enter the top level
But like a military railway, here ahead of all competitors
These exhibits have their copies in 1/35 scale
These can be easily converted to these options when using the aftermarket
It is simply not possible to tell in full and in full about the museum. Here is a row of BTRs going into the distance.
Here’s a real cannon alley (to the end of the building)
Someone was wondering about the right shade of green paint on tanks recently. Here is a palette for you to choose from.
And here is the answer to the eternal question: “What is the difference a between the T-54 and T-55?”
And as always, I left behind the naval theme
Forgot to add the weights in the nose, huh? 
Cheers,

are there any captured german aircraft or missile systems from world war two at the museum?
The Pe-2 Peshka was a beautiful aircraft for its time. I have build one in 1/48. Thanks for showing!
That Mig 25 is great! The best part of the failed XB-70 programme was that it caused the Soviets to create that stunning interceptor…
If you are asking about the German V-1 and V-2 missiles, then this museum does not have them. I could not find information about their availability in Russian museums. They were not used on the Eastern Front and therefore are unknown to the broad mass of our inhabitants.
There are only two German aircraft there: Bf-109 and Fw-190
@fromSalekhard I’m surprised there are none there as the Russians,Americans and British were busy taking all the German technology home with them.
I have not been to huge number of museums, but this one has to rate right up there for contents and how well they are presented and preserved. I know its mostly Ex Soviet/Russian kit, but there is a lot of lend / lease kit there as well, and to be able to see so much from Land Sea and Air is very impressive. Very interesting place … shame it will be out of reach to so many though.
And its a private company that owns/runs it all ?
On the contrary, everything is logical. Firstly, we almost (according to other sources, in general) did not get whole missiles. Everything was carefully assembled by the allies, and the factories were not in our occupation area. Secondly, Wernher von Braun went to America, we had specialists of a lower rank. Our personality was Korolev. Wernher von Braun was interested in everyone knowing who he was,
Korolev - to know him.
Having repeated the German rocket in his P-1, Korolev and his team went on their own.
Yes, it’s a private company. The Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC) is a Russian mining and metallurgical holding, the largest producer of copper, zinc, coal and precious metals in the country. Owners Iskander Makhmudov (No. 31 Forbes) and Andrey Kozitsyn (No. 45 Forbes).
Someone buys football clubs, someone keeps the memory.
I know where my money would go if I had it … and its not football lol
Yes, the Americans got Von Braun and most of the missiles because of the way the occupation areas were outlined.
@fromSalekhard i am surprised you say this as the second in command of the German SS Hans Kamler had a lot of top secret research going on in southern Poland including nuclear reactors/missiles. there are areas which have hi radtion levels there, that should not exist according to “official” history.
if you have access to youtube, there some great films by a man called Tino Struckman who is a historian doing private research into the German nuclear program during world war two
Interesting topic, thanks.
But even in the very first of the materials found, I read: “There is a version that in May 45, American troops captured Pilsen, located in the Soviet occupation zone. There, US military intelligence officers studied the archives of the SS research center located at the Skoda factory ".
I read about the fact that we did not get a single whole German missile in the materials on the Soviet missile program: “The Soviet side got a few parts of V-2 missiles without drawings, calculations and technical documentation.”. I do not know how official and truthful this point of view is. Maybe they were, but not in such quantity that they could then be distributed among museums. Do not forget that in any case it was a technique classified as “Top Secret”.
The final post-war boundaries were not exactly the same as the areas each army captured, so each army tried to grab everything they could before handing over to the designated occupiers. No doubt the Americans grabbed all the rocket stuff they could find before handing the sites over to the USSR. Those were very chaotic times!
I made the previous series of reports based on the results of my visit in September 2021. And now, after 8 months, I am again in this museum. I already noted earlier that this museum is like a living organism: it lives, develops, so I want to show you the new exhibits that have appeared in the museum during this time. Moreover, I will not tell you about the whole museum, but only about the open exposition. First of all, and that’s a lot. And secondly, getting into the pavilions on a day off on the eve of May 9 is difficult, but possible, but it’s no longer possible to clearly examine the exposition. This is generally the first and last time I came to the museum on a day off!
Since this is on the eve of Victory Day, then of course all Soviet armored vehicles of the Great Patriotic War period flaunt fresh
As a matter of fact, the technique still continued to be tinted
The contrast with last year’s state is clearly visible in this exhibit
At the same time, they also painted rocket artillery.
Maybe planned.
Not far from the entrance I found a 210-mm cannon BR-17. From the explanatory plate it became clear that it was transferred from the Central Museum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
A very monumental structure!
And it seems that before there was no 130-mm anti-aircraft gun KS-30
Remember, I talked about the new hall on the ground floor of the building “Museum of Military Equipment” in the hope that the exposition will increase? Not all dreams come true, they made a planetarium there.
An interesting thing, of course, but not for me and not here.
But a small platform appeared with German armored vehicles and artillery.
The girl from one of the previous reportage did finish painting the Myasishchevsky M-4,
not far from which Tu-134 ready for painting was found (poor girl!)
and behind him – another candidate for the restoration of the An-12
And he’s not alone in this line
As far as I understand, summer is the season for outdoor work. As each of us, in the process of assembling a model, lays sprues, parts, subassemblies on the table, so here it is all laid out, but only in real
And you are like a little inch – you walk on this table!
To be continued …
Do you think that self propelled artillery piece had fresh paint for the 9th of May last year?
Has it faded in one year or could it be many years?
I don’t think that in four months (May-September) last year the paint could burn out like that. Most likely more time has passed.
Let’s see in a year - I will definitely go there from time to time.
