RussiaThis small modest museum is located in the apartment in which Academician Sakharov and his family spent 7 years from 1980 to 1987, being in political exile for his human rights activities. However, the academician is known to the whole world, first of all, as the father of the hydrogen bomb, and not a human rights activist.
The museum is located in a residential building and occupies two apartments. One of them recreates the situation of the period when the scientist lived there, and it is worth saying that it is not much different from the situation of some provincial apartments today. In another apartment there is an exposition telling about the life and work of Sakharov, mainly consisting of documents and photographs.
