Powder Cellar Museum, Military history museum in Azov, Russia.
The Powder Cellar Museum displays military artifacts, ancient weaponry, and historical documents within its stone walls, maintaining regional defense heritage from the 18th century.
Originally constructed in 1770 as a wooden structure for gunpowder storage, the cellar underwent reconstruction and served different purposes before becoming a museum in 1967.
The museum presents collections of military equipment, including cannons and historic mortars that reflect the strategic importance of Azov in Russian military operations.
