Muzey Istorii I Trudovoy Slavy Gaz
About This Museum
People come to this museum not just to see old cars, but to touch the very soul of the Russian auto industry. It's a pilgrimage for gearheads and history buffs alike, telling the powerful story of the Gorky Automobile Plant from its gritty beginnings to its iconic vehicles. You'll find yourself surrounded by everything from the humble GAZ-AA lorry that helped industrialize the nation to the elegant Chaika sedans that whisked Soviet officials around. It’s a deeply authentic and surprisingly personal look at a century of engineering passion.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the massive GAZ-51 truck parked right inside, or the chance to compare the rugged Pobeda sedan with its luxurious cousin, the Chaika. The collection of wartime vehicles and original factory blueprints really brings the plant's crucial history to life.
Visitor Information
It's easy to find on Prospekt Lenina, and it's well worth setting aside a couple of hours for your visit. While you're there, chat with the staff—many have personal connections to the plant and share fantastic stories you won't find on any placard.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a solid, unpretentious Soviet-era building that feels like it's part of the factory complex itself, reflecting the industrial spirit of its subject.
