State Memorial Museum of the Defence and Siege of Leningrad, Military museum in Liteyny District, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The State Memorial Museum of the Defence and Siege of Leningrad displays military equipment, personal belongings, and documents from the 872-day German blockade.
The museum opened in 1946 based on a wartime exhibition of German weapons collected by the Military Council after breaking the siege in 1943.
The collection includes photographs, diaries, letters, and personal items belonging to citizens who endured the severe conditions during the Leningrad blockade.
The museum operates from Monday to Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00, with closures on Tuesdays and the last Wednesday of each month.
In 1952, the museum closed due to political repression, resulting in the loss of many original artifacts before reopening in 1989.
