An online excursion to the Moscow Museum of Cosmonautics, organized by the Association of Russian Speakers in Korea and the Unique Moscow Tours company, will take place on April 11, on the eve of the 60th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's space flight. The excursion will take place as part of a series of classes dedicated to the breakthroughs of Russian and Soviet science in space exploration, the Association of Russian Speakers in Korea reports on its Facebook page.

The subject of the excursion will be the Museum of Cosmonautics, which contains unique exhibits and documents telling about the work of Russian scientists and cosmonauts. The lesson will be conducted by the guide Yuri Kuryshev.

The space cycle included classes dedicated to the outstanding scientists Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and Sergey Korolev, who made a significant contribution to the development of space programs. Also, participants in virtual lectures and excursions can learn a lot about Yuri Gagarin and take part in a space quest.

Three years ago, a bust of Yuri Gagarin was installed in  the State Museum of Science, Kwacheon, South Korea.
