Nizhny Novgorod Sakharov Museum

The museum occupies an apartment where nuclear physicist Andrei Sakharov resided during his exile from 1980 to 1987, displaying personal items and photographs.

Established in 1991, this museum documents the life of Andrei Sakharov, who developed the Soviet hydrogen bomb and later became a leading advocate for human rights.

The museum exhibits present the intersection of scientific achievement and moral responsibility through documents, photographs, and personal artifacts from the Soviet period.

The museum welcomes visitors Monday through Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00, except Fridays, with entry fees of 70 rubles for adults and 30 rubles for children.

The apartment maintains its original Soviet-era layout and furnishings, including the telephone Mikhail Gorbachev used to inform Sakharov about his release from exile.
