This is a duplicate inquiry from a related discussion thread and article [prompted by May 8, 2009 announcement of the Augustine Commission on "NASA Human Space Flight Review"]: HOW MANY COPIES of "Buran" were constructed and where are they today?

During May 8th announcement of Augustine Commission [on NASA Human Space Flight Review] - the MP3 recording and subsequent transcript indicated Mr. Augustine was speaking "from Germany". Did that trip include a visit to the museum with this copy of FSU "Buran"?
