Armoury Museums

Officially established in 1808, the Kremlin Armoury (also known as theArmoury Museum, is one of the oldest museums in Moscow. It started life as the royal arsenal in 1508 which was where weapons, jewellery and a variety of other articles belonging the tsars were purchased and stored. It was once the work place of the finest Muscovite gunsmiths, jewellers and painters and in the 1600s, the Kremlin Armoury was also used as a studio where lessons were given on painting and handicrafts. In the 1700s, the existing stock was bolstered with the treasures of the tsars Golden and Silver Chambers. Today this vast armoury now serves as a museum with an incredibly rich array of masterfully crafted items.
