museum
The Tula Samovar Museum is located in the immediate vicinity of the Tula Kremlin and is dedicated to the history and manufacture of the most famous Russian tea utensil. The museum opened in 1990 in a historic 19th-century building that originally served as a home for children of poor citizens. The collection includes over 300 samovars from various eras, from the first models of the late 18th century to modern souvenir exhibits. Particularly valuable are the specimens from the famous Batashov and Shemarov manufacturing dynasties, which were awarded for their craftsmanship. The exhibition shows not only the technical development of samovars but also their social significance in Russian tea culture. Visitors can see samovars in various shapes, including spheres, vases, and acorn shapes, as well as miniature models.
