Komsomolsky Garden will get an open-air transport museum

If you enter Komsomolsky Garden from the Krasnoznamenskaya Street, you will definitely come across the memorial to an old tram car. In future, it will be joined by a whole transportation museum situated right under the sky.
 


The architects who have developed the design conception for the new face of Komsomolsky Garden are expecting the new museum to feature several life-size exhibits of the means of transport that were used in Volgograd on the different stages of its development (several trams, railroad cars, fire brigade wagon). Next to them, a pavilion will be situated with in interactive exposition inside dedicated to the history of transportation in Tsaritsyn-Stalingrad-Volgograd.
   
In Volgograd transport is something more than a simple convenience. On the most obvious level, without swift trams, buses and trolleybuses, the life in the 90-km-long city will simply stop.
 
However, we also remember that Tsaritsyn started to turned into the “Russian Chicago” only after the railroad was built. And that we were the first non-major provincial center to obtain our own tram in 1913.
 
Of the latter fact, there is a gentle reminder in Akademicheskaya Street – a bronze ticket inspector with a piece of the first ever Tsaritsyn tram rail showing in the pavement next to him.
