Glushko always attached particular importance to the preservation of full-scale exhibit items and company’s designs mockups. In the early 1960s, a unique exposition was created. And in 1969, a resolution was passed to arrange a Show Room.
Only the limited authorized personnel and guests had the access to the Show Room. Since the beginning of 1990s, foreign delegations started visiting the Show Room. It became a place to host presentations and negotiations.
Nowadays, the Show Room specialists perform huge scientific and educational work. They deliver lectures on the company history and specifics of the development of LPREs to Russian and foreign students, employees and guests of NPO Energomash.
