If you ever find yourself in Moscow then the Memorial Museum of Astronautics (also known as the Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics) is definitely worth paying a visit. A ticket to get in is 200 roubles, plus another 200 if you want to take photographs, which of course you will! The museum is located in the base of the Monument to the Conquerors of Space, and is dedicated to space exploration, with a huge variety of space-related exhibits. You can even find the two dogs Belka and Strelka, who were the first living creatures to go into space for a day and return alive, in August 1960 – stuffed and preserved for all time!
