The Armory preserves Moscow's oldest and most precious museum, which consists of a stunning collection of Tsarist artifacts, Russian and foreign jewelry and armor. It is quite fascinating to go through the exposition of the things that created the royal life environment. Court dresses, religious vestments, state regalia and ceremonial objects (such as thrones and crowns). If isles of shiny golden utensils and diamond covered gimmicks is what you would like, then this place certainly worth visiting.
