A fascinating exhibition is dedicated to the life of the medieval fortress — a defensive structure at the southern borders, which was founded by the father of Ivan the Terrible. The Kremlin walls withstood all the assaults and over 500 years later still looks almost exactly the same.
The exhibition depicts the life of military, noble and ordinary people of the 16th and 17th centuries, helps to imagine what their houses looked like, how they raised children, practiced crafts, fought, and believed in pagan spirits and Christian commandments. All this is illustrated by valuable archaeological finds: tableware, toys, tools, jewelry, coins, weapons and architectural fragments.
The exhibition also helps to recreate the course of a medieval battle, when bridges were thrown across a wide moat, a long underground passage was used for hiding, spears were thrown from high towers and matchlock guns were shot.
Exhibits are marked with AR stickers for identification purposes.
