  1. See

    Museum of Fine Arts

    Музей изобразительных искусств

    The ground floor is dedicated to Wehstern art, including some nice promgrafiki from Soviet tobacco manufacturers, and a hall for temporary exhibitions. Upstairs is a nice collection of indigenous art, ritual sculptures, clothing, utensils and ornaments from the Narnaii's and other Amur estuary aboriginal peoples. There is also a collection of Chinese folk art.

    Tue-Sun 10-17, by appointment onlyForeigners: RUB 20

    Aircraft Plant Expocenter

    Экспоцентр КнААПО

    Exhibition on the history of aircraft factory, including several displays of aircraft built at the factory, including the WWII IL-2 (Sturmovik), Korean war-era Mig-17 (Fresco), the modern SU-27 (Flanker) fighter-jet and the odd looking BE-103 (Snipe) amphibious plane. Access is tricky as it's only open to prearranged visits, which is not easy. Try contacting a tour agency, sometimes they can even arrange tours of the plant itself, but you'll need a healthy dose of luck for both.

    Artist Union Exhibition Hall

    Выставочный зал Союза Художников

    The local branch of the Russian Artist Union runs a small gallery with local art exhibitions, and a small souvenir store where you can buy indigenous souvenirs

    Church of the Holy Prophet Elijah

    Храм святого пророка Ильи

    While this rather large church was only build in 2002, it's still quite picturesque, especially contrasting the rather dodgy area which surrounds it - so cameras out and practice your photography skills.

    City Museum

    Museum of Local lore; Городской краеведческий музей города Комсомольск-на-Амуре

    Somewhat feeble attempt at a local museum. Covers both the area's ancient history with an archaeological and ethnographic collection, as well as the more recent history relating to the construction of the modern city by the Komsomol and BAM builders. There is also a small free open air tank museum outside with around 20 different tanks.

    Tue-Sun 10-18, by appointment onlyForeigners: RUB 20

    Metamoforza Gallery of Modern Art

    Галерея современного искусства «Метаморфоз»

    In business since 2001, this small independent gallery covers 140 square meters and has around 20 changing exhibitions per year covering everything from graphics design, folk and traditional art over to the more experimental. They also organize a small art school for the local population

    Daily 12-19

    Monument to the crew of Rodiny

    Памятник экипажам спасателей «Родины»

    In a town with little in the way of attractions, this can count as one. This odd monument made out of the tail of a plane can make a good addition to your photo album. It's a monument to the pilots who perished saving the crew in an emergency landing in the Taiga, after their plane ran out of fuel during a record attempt for the longest flight back in the pioneering days of aeronautics.

    Python Zoological Center

    Зоологический центр «Питон»

    Really not that interesting, but if you are bored, there is around 100 species of animals here you can check out.
