A family member stopped by this exhibition the other week and took a lot of photos to show me - some great Soviet-era posters, lots of other souvenirs from the era, many of which I had never seen before. Plus some Gagarin books, postcards and posters for sale. I'd definitely be dropping by if I still lived in the UK.
