Tsiolkovsky Museum, Space exploration museum in Borovsk, Russia.
The Tsiolkovsky Museum is a space exploration center housed in a former residence with two exhibition levels. The collection includes handwritten notes, printed texts, photographs, and models of rockets and aircraft.
The building was home to Konstantin Tsiolkovsky from 1887 to 1888, during which he taught mathematics and developed his revolutionary ideas about space travel. This period marked a turning point in his career as both educator and visionary scientist.
The museum displays letters and photographs from Tsiolkovsky's time living in this town, showing how he worked as a teacher here. Visitors can understand how his daily life balanced between classroom work and scientific research.
The museum offers guided tours and lectures on space exploration history that deepen understanding of Tsiolkovsky's theories. Visitors should allow enough time to explore both the exhibition and the house itself thoroughly.
The museum preserves personal items that Tsiolkovsky used during his time as a mathematics teacher, including his writing pen and reading glasses. These intimate objects give visitors a direct window into his daily life beyond his scientific achievements.
