Lonely Planet review

Southeast of Chistye Prudy, not far from Kursk Station, is a two-storey house in a small park, containing the Andrei Sakharov Museum. Its displays cover the life of Sakharov, the nuclear-physicist-turned-human-rights advocate, detailing the years of repression in Russia and providing a history of the dissident movement. Temporary expositions cover current human-rights issues. There are signs in English. Watch for a piece of genuine Berlin Wall in front of the building.
