We’ve covered the abandoned Motor Technica Museum in the German spa town of Bad Oeynhausen before (see here). In this brief post, we wanted to offer a more detailed glimpse at the rusting Soviet-era tech that still sits quietly outside the abandoned museum building. In his Flickr stream, urbex photographer SurfacePics showcases a variety of decaying military vehicles, including tanks, Cold War jets and helicopters. The Russian MiG-21 fighter aircraft, prominently positioned atop a decaying armoured vehicle, has become something of a landmark subject for urban explorers in North Rhine-Westphalia. Google the defunct Motor Technica Museum, and this is probably the scene you’ll notice first.

Above, uncontrolled foliage has begun to creep up around the defunct museum’s old MiG-21 Fishbed. As we wrote earlier in the summer: “The MiG was actually an exhibit at the defunct Motor Technica Museum, which closed down in 2007. Since then, the outdoor exhibits have become increasingly overgrown as nature has steadily moved in.”
