The Polytechnic Museum was founded in 1872 on the initiative of progressive Russian scientists. Such men of science, technology and culture as Timiryazev, Zhukovsky, Yblochkov, Lodygin, and many others gave popular lectures in the halls of the Museum.

The Polytechnic Museum of today has very extensive ties with scientists and engineers in all branches of science and technology. It is visited by 1,300,000 to 1,400,000 persons every year.

The halls of the Museum cover 10,000 square meters and have over 25,000 exhibits on display.
