All exhibits are numbered and listed in a topographical inventory. This was announced by the Ministry of Culture.
The formation of the Cosmonautics Museum funds began in 1969. The first item was a plaster bust of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, purchased from the artist and sculptor Joseph Arkhipov. In the first years, the collection was replenished with stuffed dogs “Belka” and “Strelka”, which today are displayed in the first room of the permanent exhibition. The museum works with astronauts, institutions, scientists, and descendants of early space explorers for operational acquisitions.
