About the museum
Kasimov Museum of bells was opened on October 31, 2014. In basis of Museum — private collection of the honourable citizen Michael Silkov. Since the opening of the collection, which consists of more than 900 exhibits, met thousands of guests – both from Kasimov and from many regions of our country and from abroad.
It all started with the small bells of troickoe sleigh — podwojnych. This is the work of local craftsmen. Residents of Kasimov villages Popovka and Ulanova Mountain cast bells that could be compared with the famous Valdai. Even before the advent of factories for the production of bells, the master, which, as they say, was on the Kasimov land more than fifty, bells cast artisanal. Especially famous craftsmen Kasimov Blacksmith settlement.
The traditional Russian Troika was unthinkable without ringing bells. For a long time, the legal right to travel accompanied by the iridescent bell ringing possessed exclusively postal Troika, as well as courier Troika, hurrying with important dispatches. However, few of the townsfolk could deny themselves the pleasure of a ride to the chime, and the ban on the use of bells has always been violated. So, in response to the ban on the use of bells, special necklaces for horses made of bells were invented, almost not inferior to bells in volume.
The Museum introduces visitors to the bells collected throughout the Russian Empire.
