The Tula Museum of Local Lore is one of the brightest representatives in its "brotherhood"! The impressions after the visit are extraordinary. Perhaps, your colorful photos will be able to describe only 47% of all the feelings that you will convey when telling your friends about it!
As the place of location, the Tula Museum of Local Lore chose the old house of a merchant who had lived here, on Posolskaya Str. (current address: 68 Sovetskaya Str.), in the far 1700. A mezzanine, two floors, and a large useful area of premises allowed organizing an exhibition in 1919 about our city exactly where it exists to this day!
Before the beginning of the 20th century, all the old things that are now represented in the museum were in the personal collections of researchers and most of them belonged to the local diocese.
The Tula Regional Museum of Local Lore possessed so many exhibits that in the '90s, it was able to share them with new tourist sites that have become the signatures of our region, without losing a drop of its attractiveness and educational value! Strictly speaking, there are more than 140 thousand items of interest here.
In addition to standard finds any museum of local lore may boast of, there are many very interesting things. Here are some of them: unusual products of residents of the City of Masters, an old black-and-white voting machine, a giant full-wall shelf with the most interesting and old books of the province, a pile of coins to buy a whole house with a decent territory, a nest of one of the representatives of the local fauna made of metal…
Stop! You definitely need to see everything with your own eyes!
