The Cosmos Museum

The museum's exposition is dedicated to the flight into space of the world's first female cosmonaut Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova, a Yaroslavl Seagull, and allows us to trace the path of a simple Russian woman from a peasant family who became the epitome of the "woman of the century."

Visitors can learn about the triumphant journey of Chaika and her contemporaries, visit the recreated peasant hut where the heroine spent her childhood, as well as trace the evolution of spacesuits and rocket engines and look into the cabin of the Vostok spacecraft, which orbited the Earth. Models of Soviet space technology are presented. A separate complex is dedicated to the achievements of Soviet cosmonautics, including the world's first Mars rover and the first landing on Mars and Venus. The unique exhibit is the only Mars globe in Russia today.

Visitors are offered sightseeing tours, master classes, as well as interactive programs.

The main attraction of the Yaroslavl region is a constellation of 12 ancient cities: Yaroslavl, Gavrilov-Yam, Danilov, Lyubim, Myshkin, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Poshekhonye, Rostov the Great, Rybinsk, Tutaev, Uglich and the flooded Mologa. Each of them has its own unique appearance and atmosphere.
