One of Russia's oldest museums was founded in 1873. However, the first exhibits of its future collection appeared during the reign of Peter the Great. By his decree, from 1724 onward, ancient weapons were not to be broken up and melted down, but rather preserved as interesting objects.
On December 26, 2025, the Bank of Russia will issue a commemorative silver coin of 3 rubles “Tula State Museum of Weapons” (catalog No. 5111-0533).
