The Andrey Sakharov Museum and Community Centre was established in 1996 to remember the millions of victims of the political repression and crimes of the Soviet regime and to strengthen in modern Russia democratic principles and human rights. It is named in honour of the famous Soviet nuclear physicist and later dissident and human rights activist Andrey Sakharov. In addition to the centre's main museum, temporary exhibitions are held in the neighbouring exhibition hall. In the art-gardens outside the centre there is the Monument to the Russian Intelligentsia which features a sculpture of Pegasus and the Freedom Monument which comprises part of the Berlin Wall.
