For Cosmonautics Day

Language: Russian

The photo exhibition is dedicated to the first space crew and the people who were pioneers in the exploration of space. The stands feature rare archival photographs capturing key moments in the history of cosmonautics: training and preparation of the first cosmonauts, the everyday life of the space crew, as well as iconic images of Yuri Gagarin, Alexei Leonov, Valentina Tereshkova, and other legends of Russian space history.

Russia is rightfully considered the birthplace of cosmonautics. It was here that the first ideas of venturing beyond Earth were conceived and brought to life. It was here that heroes emerged, whose feats and achievements are forever etched in world history. This exhibition not only presents the past but also inspires new generations to dream of the stars.
