Formally, this is not the ZIL Museum, but the MSC-6 AMOZIL Museum (Mechanical Assembly Shop No. 6 Automotive Society of the Individual Limousine Plant). ZIL fell under the pressure of developers, and this is a private office formed a couple of years ago on the remains of TsLA - a passenger car workshop, also known as mechanical assembly shop No. 6, where high-class cars were assembled individually to serve the Soviet party elite. The new owners got all the assets, including equipment, machine park, stock of parts and materials, plus - somehow - several exhibits from the factory museum. The workers of MSC-6 are great fellows; they not only continue to collect new cars and restore old ones, but also created a museum. Moreover, entry is free. There are unique exhibits here: starting with the snow-white ZIS-101A, ending with the passenger “Blue Bird” ZIL-49065. There is even a stillborn ZIL-4102, a beige-colored example known under the nickname “Raika.” The only one of the two that has survived to this day. In addition to automobile rarities, there are hood emblems, branded wheel caps, models, engine compartment plates, an assembly drawing made by the American company Budd, which supplied body stamps for the production of the ZIS-101, and much more. Very good. I would like to wish the owners more advertising, a large sign for the museum (you need to look for it specifically). The state and the Moscow mayor's office need to be proud of such a museum and promote it. Museum of Russian Cadillacs :)

nice park after renovations

Не совсем музей правда - площадка перед ним. При большом потоке пешеходов в парк - из парка через светофор она оказывается в стороне от толпы, а близлежащий велопрокат дает хорошую возможность для пробных поездок. Народ, смотрю, тоже присмотрел это место для бадминтона... Но чуть-чуть опоздали).

Not big, but very interesting museum. The entrance is free.

Found myself here accidentally as I was looking for a trade show nearby. The museum itself is quite small but the lady giving the tour really made it worthwhile. She gave us amazing insights into communist Russia.

Замечательный музей. Проводятся экскурсии по парку, лекции, выставки различной тематики.

Good place for public events

The museum is not big, but I recommend going, admission is free!

They won't let you in without a code, you don't have to go

The small ZIL museum can be visited for free. There are tours at 13:00 on weekends.

A wonderful museum, free, very interesting exhibits. The auger was especially interesting. We arrived with a small child, he was delighted. I recommend.

Brilliant exhibition, free entrance.

It is interesting to visit and get acquainted with the exhibits of ZIL. Armored cars of the leaders of the USSR, ancient half-cars, and special equipment are presented here. The entrance is free.

Many thanks to the Sokolniki Park Museum and personally to the guide Natalya for a wonderful excursion-walk for children and adults. Educational, interesting, time flew by unnoticed. Now we know better the history of our park and plus a walk through the winter park. Great holiday with children! I recommend!

(Translated by Google) Nice little museum. the entrance is free (Original) Небольшой приятный музейчик. Вход бесплатный

Walking through the park, we decided to come here; we had never been here before. To be honest, I was a little bored walking around and looking at what was presented there. Apparently not my format.

THE ENTRANCE IS FREE! Open all days except Monday. A very interesting museum! It’s a pity that such a plant was destroyed, and many of the developments did not go into series :((

A very nice park for walking, for playing, and generally for having pleasure.

The size of the exhibition does not correspond to the scale of the enterprise.

Great place, there are not many exhibits, but there is something to see. I recommend it to everyone. Entrance is free!

Cool exhibition, I recommend it to all lovers of old pieces of iron.

Interesting small museum. The entrance is free. The cars are in good condition, there is an all-terrain vehicle. There are no interactive exhibits

The museum is small but quite interesting. Those who like history or automotive technology will find something to see here. Both widely used models and experimental exhibits are presented. Free admission. Children may be bored

Были на "Формуле рукоделия". Очень классно! А потом погуляли по парку.

Большой и красивый парк, много мест для лёгкого перекуса. Зимой Есть места что бы согреться у открытого огня. Красивое освещение. Кругом очень чисто не смотря на высокую посещаемость.

(Translated by Google) I'm interested in classic cars - especially US muscle cars. Was in one such city in Detroit. We certainly do not have such a cool museum, but also not bad. Quite, quite (Original) Мне интересны классические машины - особенно маслкары США. Был в одном таком в городе Детройте. У нас конечно не такой крутой музей, но тоже неплохо. Вполне, вполне

(Translated by Google) Nostalgia! (Original) Ностальгия!

(Translated by Google) The place is great (Original) Место класное

We learned about the existence of this museum from a publication in a magazine and were surprised, since we had visited almost all automobile museums in Moscow and the region, but did not know about its existence. The museum is not large, but the exhibition is interesting. You can watch a video chronicle of ZIL in a separate room. After spending 40 minutes watching it in one go, you can flip through and read thematic (including archival) literature. For those who often visit Sokolniki Park, this can be a pleasant “bonus” when spending a day off (and not only). By the way, entry was free. The only thing was that we couldn’t immediately find the entrance (it’s from the side of the street, not the park). My friends and I liked the exhibition and the condition of the exhibits. Many thanks to the organizers for preserving the national history of the automotive industry! Good luck and prosperity!

Legendary cars of their time
