🖼 Kosmos Pavilion

A pavilion with an arched glass dome and a Vostok rocket at the entrance, with authentic spacecraft inside.

The pavilion was built in 1939 to a design by Ivan Taranov, Viktor Andreev and Nadezhda Bykova and showed agricultural machinery.
In 1951–1954 a hall with a glass dome was added to it.
The pavilion got the name Kosmos in 1967, when rockets and satellites began to be shown here.
After restoration, the Cosmonautics and Aviation centre opened here on 12 April 2018.
The exhibition has more than 120 examples of aviation and space technology from dozens of industry enterprises.
In front of the pavilion stands a model of the Vostok rocket on which Gagarin flew.
