Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War

When Hitler moved the German forces into Russia in the summer of 1941, the Great Patriotic War began for the Russian people. The part of the country invaded by the Germans was devastated and millions of people killed. This museum is dedicated to keeping the memory of the war alive so nothing like it will ever happen again. The museum organizes thematic tours through the galleries of honour, remembrance and military traditions. The museum owns two lecture halls of 200 and 500 seats with synchronized interpreting, a scientific library, plus an archive and a database of all of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the war. Entry is free.
