Technical Museum of Vadim Zadorozhny (Russian: Музей техники Вадима Задорожного) is Russia's largest privately owned museum of technology, showcasing a wide array of retro cars, motorcycles, and military equipment.[1][2] Established in 2001, it is situated in the village of Arkhangelsk within the Krasnogorsky District, Moscow Oblast.[3]
History
Vadim Zadorozhny, a former high school history teacher, began collecting cars in 1999. Two years later, he established the Automobile Club of Convertibles and Roadsters. A three-floor building was constructed in a field near Arkhangelskoye Palace and the collection was moved there in 2004. A storage building was completed the following year. A six-floor, 12,000 sq ft (1,100 m2) main building opened in 2007.[4][5]
By 2012 the museum had begun moving abandoned military aircraft from the former Khodynka Aerodrome to the former Medyn Airfield near Medyn, Kaluga, where it planned to establish a military-patriotic training camp.[6]
