The Armoury was first established as an arms and armour workshop attached to the royal court. Jewelers and icon painters arrived later. The work of the Kremlin masters ceased under Peter the Great, and in the century, the Armoury became a royal treasury. The Armoury was the first museum in Moscow. Now, it displays ancient arms, the tsars' crown jewels and many magnificent works of art.

Here, you will see unique specimens of Russian and foreign craftsmanship, royal regalia and gifts from ambassadors.

The Armoury has the finest collection of old English silverware in the world, made by London silversmiths of the 16th and 17th centuries, Faberge Easter eggs and a unique collection of carriages spanning the 16th and 18th centuries. The collection makes it one of the most impressive museums in Moscow.
