A collection of crown jewels makes Armoury Chamber one of Moscow's most popular tourist attractions. Part of the city's centrally located World Heritage Site, this museum houses 15,000 royal dresses, including those worn by the Empress Elizabeth during her coronation ceremonies. Other highlights include a pair of Peter the Great's boots, numerous royal carriages and sledges, and a lavish throne studded with over 800 diamonds. Be sure to visit the upstairs galleries, which contain a vast collection of silver artworks produced between the 12th and 17th centuries, as well as 10 world-famous Easter eggs made by celebrated jeweler Faberge. Ease your journey through Russian art history with an audio guide, available at the on-site ticket office. For travelers who use our world travel planner, Moscow holidays become easier to arrange, with trips to the Armoury Chamber and other attractions mapped out and timetabled.

Lots of Russians stuff in display like clothing and carriages etc not an armory as the name suggests. Worth s visit if you have the time and are interested in that sort of stuff.

Born in Moscow, I haven’t been here and this was my dream to visit the Armory chamber. What an impressive and magical place with so much history.

Definitely worth a visit. Great collection of Russian royal attributes. Deep dive into pre Revolutionary Russia. Great audio guides in English 👍

A very interesting and thought provoking look into a different age and a glimpse into a world of splendor and privilege. Well worth a visit, lots to see, start early.

You may skip this one if you wish. But otherwise it’s very beautiful from inside and will easily take 2/3 hours to see in its entirety

Fantastic museum. Ticket cost 1000 rubles. 100%.worth the money. Inside you can see collection of gold and silver jewellery , arms and weapons, dresses, carriages, religious items.For diamond found is separate ticket 500r

Considering the ticket fare, I found the exhibition to be a bit small. Nice collection of treasuries though. Free audio guide is a plus. Negative point is that you are not allowed to take pictures inside. Be smart and reserve your ticket for a specific time slot a few days in advance via the internet, the queue at the ticket office was long.
