Very good museum on Soviet and modern spaceflight. Amazing artifacts and good documentation. Staff was really outgoing and helpful, but don't speak English. You'll definitely want a Russian speaking guide and you could easily spend 2 hours here. Also, there is a real Buran shuttle outside. They have a small cafe and gift shop too.

A must go if you are a space fan! There‘s one of the original Buran shuttles and Sputniks to see! And the whole history of Russian space travel. Nearby are the launchpads of the Sojuz starts. But you need a special permit to enter and a guided tour, which are not cheap!
Baikonur Cosmodrome has a small museum, next to two small cottages, once residences of Sergey Korolev and Yuri Gagarin. Both cottages are part of the museum complex and have been preserved. The museum is home to a collection of space artifacts. A restored test artifact from the Soviet Buran programme sits next to the museum entrance. The vehicle that flew a single orbital test mission in 1988 was destroyed in a hangar collapse in 2002. The museum also houses photographs related to the cosmodrome's history, including images of all cosmonauts. Every crew of every expedition launched from Baikonur leaves behind a signed crew photograph that is displayed behind the glass. Baikonur's museum holds many objects related to Gagarin, including the ground control panel from his flight, his uniforms, and soil from his landing site, preserved in a silver container. One of the museum rooms also holds an older version of the Soyuz descent capsule.
A place filled with history and detailed information about the beginning of the space industry. Unfortunately everything is in Russian but English guides are available based on request.
Extraordinary experience
