Museum of water, Technology museum in Tagansky District, Moscow, Russia
The Museum of Water displays the systems that supply Moscow with drinking water and treat wastewater. Inside are exhibits, models, and explanations showing how these large technical networks operate.
The museum opened in 1993 as a project of Moscow's water company and documents how the city's water systems developed over more than a century. This history reveals how an expanding city built and updated its infrastructure.
The museum shows how water shapes daily life in a major city and connects to the rhythms of urban living. Visitors discover the practical ways the city manages its water and how these systems blend into everyday routines.
The museum is centrally located in Moscow and is accessible by public transport. Allow about two hours to explore the exhibits at a comfortable pace.
Some exhibit areas feature working models of water treatment plants where visitors can watch actual purification processes happen in real time. This makes understanding complex technical processes immediately tangible.
