Automotoveloradio Museum

The modern Vinnytsia museum of retro technology, Automoveloradio, opened in 2013 in the very center of Vinnytsia. The museum includes a unique collection of vintage machinery assembled by the Vinnytsia collector and owner of the museum himself, O. Strembitskyi. Most of the exhibits on display date back to the Soviet era. These are mainly cars, bicycles, motorcycles, cameras, radios, televisions, and more.

Opposite the museum’s main entrance stands a drum kit surrounded by Soviet-era flags, but the most interesting exhibits await deeper in the hall. Here are not only military vehicles and passenger cars on display; a bright red ZIS fire engine inevitably catches the eye. The lion’s share of the exhibits consists of household appliances from different periods. A special feature of the museum is the opportunity not only to look at unique machinery, but also to touch it or even sit behind the wheel of one of the cars, book a photo session in a vintage costume, or use the audio guide service.

Interesting facts:

• The museum’s collection numbers about 100 items.
• Among the rarest exhibits are a Willys car and a military GAZ-67.
• Particular attention is due to the display of toy and collectible cars from different periods. It features the most varied models of cars and vessels produced before 1960.
• Strembitskyi’s collection began with 10 exhibits. Over 35 years, it increased 10 times.
