This Technical Museum is a private collection of Vadim Zadorozhny which he’s happy to show to everyone. For free. One can spend in the museum as much time as he wants. So, let’s go inside!

The collection is comparable to a retro car museum…

… and a museum of aviation…

… and a museum of military hardware!
