I just (2 hours ago) came back from the ESA space museum in Norewijk, NL. There they have a full-scale Columbus and Zwezda module mated together that you can go into and have a look. Even has the Cupola. It’s dead cool to go inside and get an idea of the dimensions and a first-hand look. Recommended.
