Museum of Military History “Strelets Chambers”

The Strelets Chambers Museum of Moscow Streltsy was opened in 2014 in the building of the Titovs' chambers, an architectural monument of the XVII-XVIII centuries, whose interiors and facade still retain their historical appearance. The first owner of the chambers was the clerk of the Order of the discharge, an approximate of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, Semyon Stepanovich Titov, after whom the building received its name. However, his family owned the house only until the middle of the XVIII century, and later the building owners constantly changed. In the 1930-1940s communal apartments were located here. In these apartments settled people who worked as a staff in the House of Writers, which was built near earlier. In 2014, exhibition halls opened in the building of the chambers. In November 2015, the Museum of Military History of the Russian Military Historical Society "Strelets Chambers" was opened here. The full owners of the Strelets Chambers are the archers, whom the main exposition of the museum is dedicated. Multimedia expositions "Moscow Archers" and "Servicemen of the Moscow State" tell the story of the first regular army of Russia and the development of the national armed forces in the XVII century. The exposition presents armaments, rare archival documents, large-scale installations and models, reconstructions of uniforms, supplemented with artistic paintings and multimedia panoramas. Everyone will be able to feel like a real archer, charging a musquet (gun), learning to play the drum or a letter according to the Old Russian canons. Also in the "Strelets Chambers" are exhibitions on military-historical topics, regular events: meetings, academic lectures, creative evenings, holidays and cultural marathons, such as "Night at the Museum", "Library Night" and "Night of the Arts”.
