Muzey Vulkanov "Vulkanarium"
About This Museum
Tucked away on the edge of the Pacific Ring of Fire, this isn't your typical museum. The Vulkanarium is a thrilling portal into the raw, powerful world of Kamchatka's most famous residents: its volcanoes. You won't find dusty old relics here; instead, you step into an immersive, rumbling landscape that feels alive. It’s a place that truly makes you appreciate the immense forces shaping this remote and wild peninsula.
Collection Highlights

One of the standout exhibits is a simulation chamber that lets you safely experience the tremors of an earthquake.
Visitor Information
