Cosmonauts Alley


Cosmonauts Alley is a wide avenue in northern Moscow leading to the Russian Museum of Cosmonautics and the Monument to the Conquerors of Space. The pedestrian-only avenue connects the museum and monument to the VDNKh subway station.
The park-like avenue is punctuated by large stone memorials of important figures in the Soviet space program. At its terminus below the monument, a larger-than-life statue of Soviet rocket pioneer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky sits facing back down the path.
In 2008, Cosmonauts Alley was under a reconstruction, adding: A model of the Solar System, Monument of Sergey Korolev and star-shaped granite monuments which display important events in Russian cosmonautics.
