All over the globe, and especially in Russia, there are people who own a relic that gathers house-mates and guests at the evening table or in a gazebo in the backyard of a dacha. We are talking about such an amazing product as a samovar! Most often it is Tula samovar, and perhaps even Batashev samovar "medals"!
It is this outstanding item of the table in our city that stands in a row with pryaniks, weapons, and harmonicas. Thus, the Tula Samovars Museum just could not be ignored here!
Today, everyone may visit the old building with columns at 8 Mendeleevskaya Str. and see everything with its own eyes!
The history of craft began back in 1778 with the talented gunsmith Fyodor Lisitsin. The ability to process metal with surgical precision allowed Mr. Lisitsin to open a small factory of copper products, which then grew into the world's best samovar plant!
Indeed, the inhabitants of the City of Masters turn the most ordinary things into pieces of art! The most outstanding products of the Tula industry were awarded the opening of museums in its honor, which happened in 1990: the Tula Samovars Museum was launched!
The price of tickets for adults is only 250 rubles. For this money, you will learn absolutely everything about samovars, their production, and local tea drinking, you will even be able to take a lot of commemorative photos! This Museum hosts exclusive and almost fantastic exhibits. There is a functioning product with a volume of only 3 drops!
To fully immerse yourself in history, we recommend using the services of an experienced guide.
The museum is a must-visit! You have never seen such a variety of shapes of familiar things! Hurry up to see and perhaps even take one of the famous samovars with you!
