All kinds of household items, expensive fur coats, horse gear, weapons and weapons for combat and parade. Many precious gifts presented to Moscow by foreign envoys are also collected here.

The most important collections here also include many workshops in the Kremlin, such as gold and silver workshops that make national symbols, valuable vessels, gold and silver jewelry, etc., clothing workshops that sew royal clothing and costumes, and royal carriages that make gorgeous horse harnesses stable.

The museum building was built in 1851 according to the design plan of the architect Konstantin Ton. This building was incorporated into the Kremlin's architectural complex, and was installed with modern equipment to protect the collection during the last renovation in the 1980s.
