Narses Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Might be going to Moscow and then by boat up to St Petersburg this summer. Can anyone advise me of websites or locations of WW2 military museums in the Moscow area (even eras other than WW2). I can probably find the websites but thought if someone from 1C or someone else has personal knowledge it might be helpful. I'm aware of Kubinka but have no chance to go there this time. Thanks....

Sneaksie Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Plenty of them... the most obvious choice would be the Poklonnaya Gora WW2 memorial complex. There are many tanks and other (very) big stuff, railway cannon for example, in the open (Russian, German, ...) as well as a solid exposition indoors. http://lori.ru/search?q=%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%BA%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BA http://alexd-iakon.moifoto.ru/82098/s1 http://peter-2a46m.livejournal.com/88459.html Kremlin is the must too, the Armoury Chamber in particular if you're interested in more old weaponry, costumes and jewelry. http://www.kreml.ru/en/main/museums/armoury/ There are tons of other museums as well. Borodino museum, for example: http://petr-dorokhov.livejournal.com/3524.html#cutid1 Russian Army museum: http://www.cmaf.ru/pages/ekspoplo.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfraScope Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Probably the biggest WW2 tank museum in the world: http://www.tankmuseum.ru/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narses Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 Thanks to Sneaksie and InfraScope. Just what I needed. Probably cannot do Kubinka but will see if its possible. Borodino looks very interesting ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
