Cultural and Educational Centre named after Valentina Tereshkova
About This Museum
Stepping into the Tereshkova Centre is like launching headfirst into the history of space exploration, all anchored by the incredible story of its namesake, the first woman in space. The heart of the place is a breathtaking planetarium dome where you can journey from the Big Bang to the far reaches of distant galaxies. It’s not just a museum; it’s an immersive experience that makes you feel the vastness and wonder of the cosmos. You leave with a real sense of connection to that 'Seagull' call sign she used back in 1963.
Collection Highlights
The main hall is dominated by a stunning Foucault's Pendulum, swinging gracefully and proving the Earth's rotation before your eyes. Don't miss the replica of Tereshkova's Vostok-6 descent module—it's astonishing to see how small that capsule was for her historic, multi-day flight.
Visitor Information
Definitely book a show in the planetarium—it's the star attraction (pun intended). The staff are wonderfully knowledgeable, often sharing little-known anecdotes about Valentina Vladimirovna herself.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a striking piece of modern, almost cosmic architecture, with a sleek silver dome that looks like it landed right in the middle of Yaroslavl.
