Academican S. P. Korolev Memorial Apartment Museum

The Academician S. P. Korolev Memorial Apartment Museum is a biographical museum housed in the former residence of a Soviet rocket engineer in Moscow. The rooms display personal items, correspondence, technical drawings, and models that document both the engineer and his work.

The Soviet engineer made this apartment his residence starting in the late 1950s while holding a leading role in space program development. The residence marks a period of rapid technological progress in the Soviet Union.

The apartment reveals how a leading engineer lived during the Soviet era, with furniture and objects that reflect his daily life between work and family. Walking through these rooms gives visitors a sense of the person behind the historical achievements.

The museum is located in a residential area and is typically accessible through guided visits that provide detailed access to the rooms. It helps to arrange your visit in advance since visitor numbers are limited and the tour may not be available otherwise.

The apartment has been preserved nearly unchanged and still displays the original furnishings from the Soviet period, including books and notes left behind by the engineer. This preservation allows visitors to experience the working life of a space program leader in a very direct way.
