The memorial complex dedicated to the memory of the outstanding pilot and Hero of the Soviet Union Valery Pavlovich Chkalov was opened to visitors on July 7, 1940.
The complex includes a memorial house where Valery Chkalov was born and raised, as well as a hangar pavilion, which displays a collection of aircraft associated with the remarkable pilot.
The seven sections of the exhibition of the house-museum describe certain periods in Valery Chkalov’s life and work. Each section presents authentic documents, photographs, visual materials, and unique exhibits.
The hangar houses the planes that Chkalov piloted and tested. The central place in the pavilion is occupied by the famous ANT-25, which participated in major flights to the Far East and the United States that went down in the world history of aviation.
The I-16 and I-17 fighters are reminiscent of Chkalov’s difficult and risky occupation as a test pilot.
The jet fighter MiG-15 is presented as the embodiment of Valery Chkalov’s dream of high-speed flights.
The hangar also contains Chkalov’s personal plane Po-2 — a gift from the Soviet government for the first non-stop flight.
