Museum of the History of MGTS

Museum of History and development of MGTS was inaugurated July 8, 1982 the street Marchlewski. The initiator of its creation was made by Victor Vasiliev, who was then director of the Moscow City Telephone Network. Currently, the museum's collection of more than 3,000 exhibits.

Getting here was not such a trivial task - the museum is only open for excursions by appointment. I'm interested in the museum in the first place in order to see and touch rare artifacts of the last century.
