Arctic and Antarctic Museum, Polar exploration museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The main building contains exhibits about Arctic and Antarctic exploration, featuring artifacts, documents, photographs, and scientific equipment from polar expeditions.
Established in 1930 as part of the Soviet Arctic Research Institute, the museum moved to its current location in a former church building from the 1820s.
The museum maintains a collection of 75,000 items, including a numismatic collection of 4,000 pieces and polar expedition correspondence from the 16th century.
Located at 24a Ulitsa Marata near Vladimirskaya metro station, the museum opens Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00 with separate fees for photography.
The museum exhibits include an original small aircraft from the 1934 Chelyuskin rescue operation, which transported stranded crew members to safety during polar navigation.
