Weapons Museum

Ever wanted to take apart and reassemble an AK-47, like some sort of Cold War sleeper agent? Now's your chance! The Weapons Museum at the Kremlin Izmailovo aims to please with a hands-on experience of real guns and munitions from WWII to the present day. It's a sure-fire good time!
See how warfare and munitions have evolved in the space of 100 years, with over 30 samples of real weapons and small arms from Russia, Europe, and America, chronologically ordered from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st.
Step into the shoes of a Russian sniper with a real Mosin rifle, handle a Shpagin submachine gun, spin a Nagant revolver on your finger, and stare down the crosshairs of a beastly Degtyarev DP-27.
Of course, the iconic Kalashnikov AK-47 is the exhibition's centerpiece. Learn to take the gun apart and put it back together. You'll understand why it's the most enduringly popular assault rifle in the world.
