Kosmos Pavilion, VNDKh, MoscowUp to a few years ago, the Kosmos Pavilion in the VNDKh park on the east side of Moscow used to be a large space museum. In the 1990's, after the fall of the Soviet Union the museum was turned into a set of commercial shops. Most of the exhibits are still there, but puched back into corners. Nobody wants to cart them away. |

 A Vostok rocket marks the front of the Kosmos Pavilion whic is about a mile north of the Mermorial Museum of Cosmonautics. The booster is surrounded by used cars for sale. |

 Inside the pavilion, shops line the walls. Its not heated inside either.
On this day cars have been removed and are about to be put back in. A Proton-4 hangs from the ceiling |

Spacecraft can be seen in the corners behind a short screen. A Vostok and a picture of Yuri Gagarin dominate the space usually used for used car sales. |
