Museum of the Defence of Moscow, Military history museum in Moscow, Russia
The Museum of the Defence of Moscow displays wartime artifacts, military equipment, photographs, and documents related to the 1941 Battle of Moscow during World War II.
The institution opened its doors in 1981 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Battle of Moscow, marking a critical period in Soviet resistance against German forces.
The museum exhibitions present authentic items, personal belongings, and detailed dioramas that demonstrate the determination of Moscow citizens and soldiers during wartime.
Located at Michurinsky Prospekt in the Olympic Village area, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Thursdays until 9:00 PM.
The museum stands near the former villages of Troparevo-Nikulino, where Moscow volunteer divisions established defensive lines against advancing German troops in 1941.
