Aksai Museum of Military History
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Aksai Museum of Military History for the artifacts; they come for the stories, to walk the same ground where soldiers once defended the Don crossings. Tucked away on Gulayeva Street, it feels less like a formal institution and more like a direct portal to a pivotal past. You'll find yourself completely absorbed, from the carefully reconstructed command dugouts to the personal letters that make history feel immediate. It’s a profoundly moving experience that connects you to the resilience of this region.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the museum is its sprawling open-air exhibit with genuine WWII-era artillery and tanks, but it's the intimate underground bunker—a restored military command post—that truly steals your breath. Don't miss the small, poignant displays dedicated to local heroes like Nikolai Gulaev.
Visitor Information
It's located at ul. Gulayeva, 120 in Aksay—easy to find and well worth the trip. The place has a fantastic 4.4-star rating from hundreds of visitors, which tells you everything about the powerful impression it leaves.
Architecture & Building
The main building is a modest but charming structure, typical of the region, but the real architectural intrigue lies underground in the authentically preserved bunker systems you can actually explore.
