KRAUSS Aviation Museum, Aviation museum in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine.
The KRAUSS Aviation Museum is an aviation museum in Kryvyi Rih focused on civilian aircraft development, displaying plane models and technical exhibits across multiple halls. Visitors can step into aircraft cabins, explore cockpits, and study technical specifications alongside diagrams and engineering details.
The museum was established in 1975 and preserves notable examples of Soviet-era aircraft, including three surviving Tupolev-114 planes. These planes played a significant role in Soviet aviation history and demonstrate the technological capabilities of that period.
The place shows how aviation became a source of pride for local people and their connection to Soviet engineering traditions. The displayed aircraft tell the story of this region's role in advancing aircraft technology.
The museum offers access to authentic exhibitions that are best visited on quieter weekdays. Plan for several hours to thoroughly explore the different halls and displays.
One of only three Tupolev-114 aircraft surviving worldwide is housed here and set speed and altitude records during its operational years. This enormous turboprop plane demonstrates the ambitious goals of Soviet aviation engineering in the post-war period.
