After a breathtaking visual and educational tour around the compound, which includes The Mosphil Lounge, which boasts a luxurious jazz-lounge-inspired interior housing a collection of vintage mid-century modern furniture and curios in a decommissioned Antonov 24 B Russian aircraft that’s been retrofitted for ground display.
