Kremlin Armoury, History museum in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia
The Kremlin Armoury exhibits more than 4000 artifacts including royal regalia, ceremonial weapons, armor, and ornate carriages used by Russian monarchs.
Founded in the 15th century as a royal arsenal, the Armoury transformed from a storage facility for military equipment into a museum of Russian state treasures.
The museum displays collections of Russian craftsmanship through ornate religious objects, imperial garments, and decorative pieces created by local artisans.
The Kremlin Armoury requires advance ticket reservations, operates in scheduled sessions throughout the day, and restricts photography in certain exhibition areas.
The museum maintains the Diamond Fund collection, which contains the Russian state jewels, including the Grand Imperial Crown and Orlov Diamond.
