Collections

The activities of the Museum in the field of protection of cultural heritage encompass several areas of science and technology. These areas include materials and technology, energy, mechanics, building, transportation, industrial heritage, and so on. Together they form a whole of this exceptionally wide and complex field of human endeavor. The departments of the Museum, which cover all the aforementioned areas, determine the character and value of Museum collections. 

Scientific and technological heritage is materialized scientific thought and the materialized ideas of inventors. An idea does not lose its value even when an object ceases to serve its purpose. 

Scientific and technological heritage is the object or product of material and spiritual culture that represents applied scientific discovery, realized technical and technological processes, and industrial production.
