Abstract:

The early days of the Tula Arms museum history is closely associated with the names of Russian emperors. Peter I made the base for the future museum having issued an order to deposit the old weapons. In accordance with this order the Tula arms factory (founded February 15, 1712) began to keep the samples of products in the factory armoury and workshops. Subsequently, Catherine II and Nicholas I visited the weapons factory and its armoury. The actual opening of the museum was on August 30, 1873. It was placed in one of the rooms of the factory board and located there the until 1918. During this period the museum was mainly visited by grand guests of the factory.
