Polytechnical Museum Moscow

Today I visited the Polytechnical Museum, which is a science museum in Moscow that emphasizes the process of Russian and Soviet technology and science, as well as modern inventions and developments. The museum is one of the oldest museums in Moscow and it was quite good, but very little explanation was in English. I particularly enjoyed looking at the advancements in Space development over time. 

Development in transport from steam engines to modern day living.
