What you will see
The collection brings together royal treasures, ceremonial weapons and the regalia of Russian tsars. Visitors come to look closely at objects made for display and state occasions rather than for battle, which gives the rooms a distinctly courtly character.

Planning your visit
The Armory Chamber sits inside the Kremlin walls, so it fits naturally alongside a wider walk through the complex. Because it is part of the Kremlin museums, it is a good choice if you want to combine several historic sites in one visit. Allow time to move slowly through the displays, as the detail of the objects rewards a careful look.
Before you go, check the current visiting arrangements with the museum directly, as access to the Kremlin can depend on the day and on security procedures.
