🖼 Military History Museum of Artillery

Александровский парк, 7

In the courtyard — hundreds of cannons and rockets in the open air

The museum traces its history to the Zeughaus, an arms house founded by Peter I in 1703.
Since 1868 the museum has occupied the Kronverk Arsenal, built in 1851–1860 by the architect P. I. Tamansky.
The collection has over 850,000 items, from the 14th century to the present day.
The exhibits include cannons by the famous founder Andrey Chokhov.
During the Yaroslavl uprising of 1918 about 2,000 banners from the museum's evacuated holdings burned.
In the courtyard by the Kronverk Canal stands a monument to the Decembrists executed on this spot in 1826.
In 2019 a monument to Mikhail Kalashnikov was unveiled in front of the entrance.
