Last Wooden Planetarium in the World

One of my favorite things is to come across abandoned buildings and do a little exploring--legally of course. If you like abandoned buildings, then English Russia has a good deal of items for you to peruse, from elaborate and abandoned houses in the Tagia to planetariums--this one in particular is being demolished--the last wooden planetarium in existence. It's located in the city park of Penza, Russia and actually has some pretty nifty stuff in it, along with some pretty... um, shall we say interesting dioramas, plenty of cosmonaut history, and lots and lots of propaganda about Pluto being a planet and all (so last decade). Not somewhere I'd take the kiddies on a field trip, but interesting to rifle through.
