Tsiolkovsky memorial house

Tsiolkovsky's memorial house is a wooden residential building with two floors located in Kaluga. Inside, the rooms where the scientist lived remain preserved, along with his study and workshop where he developed his ideas about space travel.

The scientist lived in the building from the early 1900s until his death. The house was later converted into a memorial to preserve his legacy and opened to the public.

The house displays items from Tsiolkovsky's daily life and work that show his role as a space travel theorist. Visitors can walk through his personal rooms and understand how he worked and lived in his everyday surroundings.

The house is open to visitors on several days each week, with longer opening hours on certain weekdays. It is helpful to check the exact times before visiting, as they may vary depending on the season or special events.

The house was damaged during a major flood that destroyed many of Tsiolkovsky's handwritten notes and technical sketches. This loss is an important part of the site's story and becomes apparent during a visit.
