Museum of blacksmithing and traditional crafts "Forge Sloboda"

Private museum of blacksmithing and folk crafts "Blacksmith's Sloboda" was opened on February 13, 2010 in Kolomna. The museum exhibition consists of wrought (mostly), cast and wooden products from different eras and is based on the collection of Ilya Georgievich Lebedev. The beginning of the collection was about 20 years ago and at the moment it includes more than seven thousand items. These things are a part of our history, witnesses of events in the life of man, family and people.

In the museum you can see the workplace of the village blacksmith, weapons and armor of warriors of past centuries, accessories for fishing and hunting, forged household items, many of which have long been forgotten.
