The Water Museum?Why this museumA departmental museum with working models of city infrastructure — an almost extinct genre. Worth seeing for anyone curious about how the city works underground; there is nowhere else in Moscow for that.

8+With childrenThe working models of the waterworks interest children, but only with a booked tour.wheelchairStep-free accessThe museum — not checked. Access not checked.
Getting there — partly. Proletarskaya has no lift. Moscow metro stations almost never have lifts to the platform, except on the Big Circle line and the MCC. A wheelchair user is better served by the surface buses, which are low-floor across the centre.1 hour
