MUSEUM OF SAMOVARS AND BOUILLOTTES

PRIVATE COLLECTION

Biggest collection of samovars and bouillottes in Russia
Record Book of Russia

The museum provides fascinating interactive tours,
adapted for visitors of all ages.
Adults and children will learn about rare samovars and
bouillottes, as well as hear interesting stories about Russian life
and the traditions of tea drinking.

«Each samovar has its own fate,
and can tell a lot about its owner or even illustrate an entire era.
This is a “living history” and it should be available to everyone,
who is interested in the past of Russia and its traditions.»
