15 years since the founding of one of the largest and most remarkable Russian technical museums is a good occasion for a story about the Vadim Zadorozhny Museum of Technology.
I have been to this museum several times and will be again, but still it will not be enough.
On my first visit, I was shocked by the surreal sight of the employees directing the exit from the wash of some large Mercedes with a blonde behind the wheel, protecting its body from colliding with the bumper of a pre-war armored car standing next to it in the yard.
I must say that such a hodgepodge of times and peoples has remained a feature of this particular museum. And this is not surprising: the museum was formed and located on the territory of an auto repair enterprise.

However, there are both American and Soviet “occupation” zones here,
on the border of which there is a unique opportunity to compare the two heroes of military impassability.
There are no less unusual and picturesque corners of various themes.
Recently there was even a corner of the railway theme.
