🖼 Road of Life Museum

Ладожское Озеро, ш. Дорога Жизни, 58

A museum by Lake Ladoga in the area where the Siege-era Road of Life began, with military vehicles and exhibition halls.

The museum opened in November 1968 as a branch of the Central Naval Museum; at first it occupied two rooms in the village school.
During the war the museum building housed a bakery and the headquarters of the Osinovets naval base of the Ladoga Flotilla.
The GAZ-AA "polutorka" trucks for the exhibition were restored and donated to the museum by the Gorky Automobile Plant.
The tugboat Izhorets-8 is moored for good by the museum, and a Li-2 transport aircraft stands on the vehicle display ground.
Some of the exhibits were raised from the bottom of Ladoga by search teams.
Inside there is a wartime truck simulator: you can "drive" a food convoy across the ice under fire.
