Yerevan Museum of Science and Technology
Part 2. Chemical industry, daily life.
Right off the bat - a surprise. In the Yerevan museum a photo is labeled "Kirov Chemical Plant". The solution to the puzzle - it's named after Kirov. We've grown unused to that sort of thing... But the spheres are pretty. I don't understand chemical production, so I can't even guess what these spheres are. Usually round things are connected with high pressure...
The next picture is clearer. "Nu, pogodi!", to whose beeping my childhood passed. "Viktorina" (Quiz) - I still remember my childhood bewilderment: how were you even supposed to play it? You just have to poke where there are holes in the card. And you don't even need to read what's written on the cards.
A meat grinder, a coffee grinder - no comment. That little gray thing on the bottom right is also a coffee grinder. It came with a touching comment from the guide: "The youngest in the family grinds the coffee." Mom or dad drinks the coffee, but the youngest grinds it.
No photos, but take my word for it. An electric car from the seventies. It's called ErAz - the Yerevan Automobile Plant. A play on words. In Armenian, "Eraz" means a dream.
At a similar museum in Kazan, the guide very emotionally explained that in the 1970s, to have any chance of success with girls, you absolutely had to have a color-music light set at home. Here it is, the Armenian version of that commandment.
