Museum of Hang-gliding

Museum of Hang-gliding, Aviation museum in Feodosiia, Russia.

The Museum of Hang-gliding in Feodosiia opened on 12 May 1990 and is named after Konstantin Artseulov, a pilot and grandson of painter Ivan Aivazovsky. Its halls hold working hang gliders and scale models, flight-training simulators, and a collection of documents and photographs on gliding and hang-gliding.

The museum opened on 12 May 1990, the only institution of its kind in the CIS countries, in Feodosiia, the cradle of Russian aviation. In 2015 it was named after Konstantin Artseulov, a Russian and Soviet pilot, organiser of the All-Union glider rallies of the 1920s–30s and grandson of painter Ivan Aivazovsky. In 2012 it began developing a new concept as a museum of free flight.

Since 2015 the museum has borne the name of Konstantin Artseulov, a Russian and Soviet pilot who organised the All-Union glider rallies of the 1920s and 1930s, was a skilled illustrator, and was a grandson of the painter Ivan Aivazovsky. Its exhibition links the museum to Koktebel and Mount Klementyev, where Soviet gliding took shape.

The museum is open daily except Sunday, with a shorter Saturday schedule and a midday break. It occupies two halls, so allow time to see both the flying machines and the training simulators. The exhibits are genuine hang-gliders and models rather than roped-off replicas.

The museum is named after Konstantin Artseulov, a Russian and Soviet pilot who organised the All-Union glider rallies of the 1920s and 1930s and was a grandson of the painter Ivan Aivazovsky. The name was added in 2015, and the museum has been run since 2012 by director Olga Silevich.
