What attracts us to space? Dreams of a bright future or fear of losing the Earth? Will we survive there, in the conditions of radiation, the absence of terrestrial gravity and the atmosphere?

The "Interplanetary Travel" exhibition invites guests to rush to the stars, along with the great scientists of the past, to invent a ship for interplanetary flights with the founder of theoretical cosmonautics Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky. Visitors will not only see the far side of the moon with the help of Soviet automatic stations, but also get acquainted with Venus and Mars, try themselves in the role of the rover driver, visit the space greenhouse of the future, make a virtual spacewalk. The most inquisitive will be able to find out their weight on the Moon and the planets of the Solar System and take part in the space quest.

Among them are the automatic interplanetary stations Luna-3 and Luna-16, a device for collecting soil on the Moon and Venus, a model of the lunar base, the first rover. Many exhibits will be shown for the first time in the public domain.
