Museum of Radio in Pereslavl-Zalessky as last waypoint for May expedition

The museum features Gennady Semenov's collection of household tube radio sets and radios made both in the USSR and in the Western countries. It took over 30 years to search and restore the exhibits, yet almost all of them can boast original packages and operational condition. Radio as a hobby from the Soviet childhood period long gone, remained a life-long pursuit for some people. And this very hobby served as a foundation for the unusual museum in Pereslavl-Zalessky, calling for warm memories. Focused on the historic household radio devices, it invites all concerned, ready to transmit the romantic appeal of that era. The exhibits can easily bring on light nostalgia and memories about the first transistor or tube radio set, bought with carefully saved money. And of course, it's also an opportunity to gain the momentum for a new hobby, and a testament to the radio fans still being up and running.

The building, designed by Gennady Semenov, was erected for the Museum of Radio by Vladimir and Natalia of the Lukashov family. Its exhibition area with four rooms occupies over 200 sq.m. and currently displays about 20 household tube radio devices dating back to the 1930s-1970s, a collection of cinema equipment from the USSR and the West, and an exhibit for the USSR space naval fleet.
