Description of the attraction
The Museum of the Mosfilm Film Concern consists of several halls, which contain elements of scenery from famous films, various props, dummies, costumes and many more interesting exhibits. It is extremely interesting to see the scenery for famous films.

The Mosfilm studio has existed since 1923. It covers an area of approximately 40 hectares. Over the years of the studio's existence, more than two and a half thousand films have been shot on it. In fourteen pavilions of the largest film studio in Europe, work is in full swing. Films and television series are shot. Mosfilm's shooting studios are headed by the leading filmmakers of Russia: Danelia, Govorukhin, Abdrashitov, Menshov, Naumov, Eshpai, Surikova, Soloviev and other famous directors of the country.
In recent years, the technical base of Mosfilm has been seriously modernized. All types of film work (editing, computer graphics, telecopying) are carried out using the latest equipment.
A unique film fund has been preserved at Mosfilm. The film concern at its own expense conducts painstaking work on the restoration of films from the "golden" collection of the film studio.
