Photo Excursions: Vadim Zadorozhny Museum of Technology
In the near Moscow region, at the 4th kilometer of the Ilyinsky highway, there is an amazing museum, which has the largest in Russia and one of the largest in Europe expositions of military and civilian equipment of the 20th century. We are talking about the private museum of Vadim Zadorozhny, opened in 2005 in the village of Arkhangelskoye, Krasnogorsky district, Moscow region.
Since the opening of the museum, its exposition has increased hundreds of times and today is located on a huge open area, as well as on three floors of the building. More than 1000 exhibits are presented on the total area of the museum which is more than 6000 square meters. The uniqueness of this museum is that military aircraft, tanks, guns, air defense systems and Multiple launch rocket system, which are adjacent to civilian cars, fire equipment, motorcycles and tractors are located in one place. The museum's collection is constantly updated, and you can see something new almost in every new visit. The museum also has its own restoration workshop, where you can see the process of restoring unique machines.
