CENTRAL GEOLOGICAL MUSEUM CHERNICHEV (OR MINING INSTITUTE)
Go there and contact
Located in a building of the Geological Institute, this huge museum brings together a huge collection of minerals, examples of minerals and extraction apparatus. There are more than a million pieces, including dinosaur fossils and mammoth defenses. Not to mention the 1.5 m long crystal, the 1,054-kg piece of malachite from the Ural, and the 842-kg copper bar from Kazakhstan, a iron meteorite that landed in Siberia, or a strange metal palm, forged. a section of rail. The must of the visit is of course the map of the USSR made of diamonds, rubies and other gems from over 500 different sites. His clothing required the work of 700 people and won a prize in Paris at the 1937 universal exhibition. A little further, you will also see a hammer and a gold sickle… Everything is with a little dubious taste but remains unbelievably spectacular.
