The exhibition is perfect for the whole family and offers a great opportunity to spend time both productively and engagingly.

Scale model — are you serious?!
Temporary exhibition
From May 18, 2026
From May 18, 2026
The ancient Egyptian pyramids, the Soviet magazine "Yuny Tekhnik" (Young Technician), and Minecraft all have one thing in common: they embody an eternal human passion — to build, invent, and create, whether it's architectural wonders, scale models, or virtual worlds.
At first glance, model making might seem like mere entertainment. Miniature trees, tiny cars and buildings, figures of people and animals... But behind each of these worlds lie hours of measuring, calculating, selecting materials, and painstaking work. Sometimes, even the smallest scene requires immense effort.
Admission is included in the museum ticket price
