MIKHAIL MIKHAILOVICH BORSHCHEV<\/h2>\n

COLLECTOR<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Businessman, philanthropist and the winner of the \u201cLeaders of Corporate Charity\u201d award. Born in the Novosibirsk region in 1968, Mikhail Borshchev has a Ph.D. in Economics and is a full member of the Academy of Mining Sciences. He has a number of state, departmental and public awards, as well as the title of \u201cHonorary Builder\u201d.<\/p>\n

When he first started to work in the city of Tula over 15 years ago, M. M. Borshchev became interested in collecting samovars, tea urns and other items that represent the traditional domestic life in both Russia and abroad during 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Now the collection of M.M. Borshchev is exhibited in the Museum of Samovars and Bouillottes, which is located on the territory of hotel GRUMANT Resort & SPA and features more than 600 items, many of which are extremely rare. In 2018, it was recognized as the largest private collection of samovars and bouillottes in Russia, a record which was documented in the \u201cRecord Book of Russia<\/strong>\u201d. Despite this achievement, Mikhail Mikhailovich continues to enlarge and regularly update his collection with new unique exhibits.<\/p>\n

While collectors often prefer to keep their collection away from public eye, Mikhail Mikhailovich has opened his museum to the public, to ensure that absolutely anyone who is interested in decorative and applied art can appreciate the creations of Russian and European masters.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1558513297751{margin-bottom: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u201cEach samovar has its own fate and can tell a lot about its owner or even illustrate an entire era. <\/strong>
\n This is a \u201cliving history” and it should be available to everyone who is interested in the history of Russia and its traditions. “<\/strong><\/p>\n

On April 24, 2018, experts from the Record Book of Russia<\/strong> have added a new record. Now we are proud to announce that our museum in the Tula Oblast exhibits the largest private collection of samovars and bouillottes in Russia. Passing a rigorous selection by experts from the Record Book of Russia is not an easy task, but we have done it!<\/p>\n
