What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
This museum is dedicated to and operates at the Gorky Automobile Plant (JSC "Gaz"). It is clear that the museum is dedicated to the history and products of the automobile plant, but in its exposition you can see not only cars produced at the plant, but also trucks, and even armored vehicles. On the second floor there is a large exhibition dedicated to the history and glory of the plant (documents, photos, personal belongings of employees, cups and awards). After viewing the second floor, you can go down to the first, where the most interesting part of the museum is presented – a large collection of cars. There are a lot of retro cars, modern cars, and prototypes that have never seen the light.
In general, it is worth visiting the museum if you have free time, especially with an excursion, and a visit without an excursion will not be very interesting. As many as 6 variants of thematic excursions are offered.
Unfortunately, excursions are only for large groups, and the museum itself is not always open even during working hours. It is best to call before visiting and clarify the time of work and the time of the tour. And yet, photography is paid and very expensive, lighting for photographing is not enough, you can not sit in cars and even touch them.
