Kubinka Tank Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kubinka Tank Museum, also known as 'The Tank Museum in Kubinka', is a large museum of armoured fighting vehicles in Russia, just outside Moscow. It has many famous tanks from World War I, World War II and the Cold War. The museum also houses many unique vehicles, such as the Panzer VIII Maus, Troyanov super-heavy tank and a Mörser Karl alongside single production prototypes from Russia and Germany. The museum is derived from the research collection of the Kubinka armour test base, still functioning as such. Most Cold War-era Western tanks are war trophies from Middle East, Africa, Viet Nam and Latin America, sent to armour test facility to test for weaknesses.
From August to October 2007, the Museum website stated that it is closed to foreign visitors by order of the military.
