Lovers of anomalous phenomena, like skeptics, have the opportunity to delve into the topic with the help of those who have been carefully studying these very phenomena for two decades. A museum exposition "World of Mysteries" has opened in Moscow: a unique project, which presents dozens of artifacts collected by members of "Cosmopoisk" throughout Russia and the world. Sergei Aleksandrov, Deputy Coordinator of the All-Russian Scientific Research Public Association "Cosmopoisk", talks about some of the finds presented.
The constantly replenished museum exposition "The World of Mysteries" allows you not only to hear about the mysterious and unknown, but also to hold it in your hands. If, of course, they allow it. You can ask for permission on Tuesdays - this is the day when the tour guides are ready to tell visitors about all the exhibits. Fortunately, they collected them themselves - on expeditions around the country and the world.
“Finally, the first permanent exposition of artifacts has started operating in Russia,” Sergei Aleksandrov, deputy coordinator of the All-Russian Scientific Research Public Association “Kosmopoisk”, says to Vecherka. - We created it with one main goal: for people to see with their own eyes that there is a lot of unknown, but quite real and, most importantly, amenable to scientific comprehension in life. Those very white spots of history and natural science, which humanity has yet to "paint over".

Everything that is now on display in Sevan has been kept by the members of "Kosmopoisk" in their dachas and attics for a long time, and now it is gradually gathering in one place.
Already now, visitors can get acquainted, for example, with the history of the creation of a time machine (or rather, its forerunner - the experimental installation "Lovondatr"); to consider in detail what the famous Kyshtym dwarf Aleshenka looked like; study a giant stone "ball" of 8000 years ago, raised from the seabed near the biblical Mount Ararat (not to be confused with Ararat geographic); find out how the search for Bigfoot is progressing, what happens to the cereals after an unknown force has applied its mysterious drawings to the wheat field, and much more. Mysterious and inexplicable.
However, they paid attention to the exposition and things more studied. A large section is devoted to meteorics. There was also a place for ball lightning, or rather, the one that was directly affected by them.

They also paid tribute to starfaring, because at one time "Cosmopoisk" was created by people from technical universities in order to use the results of studying anomalous phenomena in the development of terrestrial technologies.
In particular, you can get acquainted with spacecraft projects created by engineers based on research on UFO wreckage, and models of ships of the future.

Of course, there is also a “plate” section. For example, the UFO disaster near Dalnegorsk in 1986 is examined in some detail: for the first time in these 30 years, dozens of closed materials and laboratory findings are presented to the general public.
Alexander Poltorak, one of the organizers of the "World of Secrets" exposition, head of the children's library No. 152 of the Southern Administrative District:
- This is a non-commercial project. Not a penny was spent on it from the city budget. But it turned out great, and the public's interest was serious. After all, there are lectures and live communication with writers and scientists. In addition, the visit is free.
