The Kremlin Armoury is one of the oldest museums of Moscow, located in the Moscow Kremlin, now a part of Moscow Kremlin Museums.
The Kremlin Armoury originated as the royal arsenal in 1508. Until the transfer of the court to St Petersburg, the Armoury was in charge of producing, purchasing and storing weapons, jewelry and various household articles of the tsars.

In 1700, the Armoury was enriched with the treasures of the Golden and Silver chambers of the Russian tsars.
