Museum of the Cannon yard in Kazan

What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting

Cannon yard Museum it is located in a building on the territory of the Kazan Kremlin, where the foundry pit used to be located, and later – housing for officers and a soldiers ' canteen. Today there is an exposition dedicated to military affairs and craft.

The museum consists of two floors. On the ground floor there is an old Russian weapon, and under the glass floor in the Armory pit there is a reconstruction of the production of a foundry gun. On the second floor there is a small collection of 20th century weapons, as well as an interactive information exhibition (rather, a lecture hall) on the theme of the museum.

Objectively, it should be said that the collection and the size of the museum are very modest, and do not justify the entrance fee. It is worth visiting it if you have seen Kazan already has all the sights, and there is nothing else to see. Actually, the entire exhibition of the museum is presented in the photo. Sometimes temporary exhibitions are held in the museum, then it is much more interesting to visit it.
