Faeton museum
About This Museum
You'd never guess that one of Ukraine's most fascinating collections of machinery is tucked away in a quiet corner of Zaporizhzhia, born from a single man's passion. The Faeton Museum isn't some sterile, modern hall; it feels more like a treasure-filled garage where history feels alive and touchable. It all started with a beloved GAZ-21 Volga, and that one car sparked a lifelong hunt. Now the place is absolutely packed with everything from hulking Soviet trucks to delicate, forgotten cameras, each with its own story to tell.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is that iconic GAZ-21 'Volga' sedan, surrounded by rugged ZIL trucks and military vehicles. But look closer and you'll find gems like old radios, typewriters, and an impressive array of vintage cameras. It's the personal touches—a child's pedal car, a perfectly preserved Soviet kitchen—that really pull you into the past.
Visitor Information
It's out on Avtoklubna Street, number 8. Don't expect fancy signage; the building itself is part of the charm. The folks running it are incredibly knowledgeable, so ask questions!
Architecture & Building
Housed in a no-frills industrial-style building that feels more like a sprawling, organized warehouse or an old repair shop than a traditional museum.
