Museum of the Cosmonaut, Moscow Russia

Not the current meteorite. . .seems Russia has been the landing spot for several through the years!

Yuri Gagarin

This stained glass window was breathtaking.  The photo does not do it justice.

The kids were fascinated with the personal items

that the cosmonauts used.

Lots of giggles,

and questions regarding the toilet and bedroom on the spacecraft.

We wondered if the fish tank was a scientific experiment or a calming item.

Cool chess set!

This space photography was incredible.

There were yarn and fabric arts celebrating space as well.

We very much enjoyed our trip to the Museum of the Cosmonaut.  Many of the displays had an English interpretation on them.  The museum was beautiful and well laid out.  It was fun to see all the US ~ Russian teamwork.
