The Kolomna museum "Samovar House" features a diverse collection of samovars: from large to small, from microscopic to gigantic, from round to flat, Russian, Asian, and European, portable and home, simple and luxurious. This collection, which includes 400 items, is based on a private collection of the Burov family. Here you can also see antique irons and kerosene lamps, vintage clothing and accessories, climb onto a real Russian stove, learn about the ceramic and rope-making crafts of Kolomna, and try traditional Russian dishes based on home recipes in a cozy café. The museum is conveniently located opposite the Kolomna Pastila Museum, making the tour even more enriching.

The history of "Samovar House" is closely linked to the history of the samovar as a device for heating water. Although the samovar is associated with Russia, its homeland is Asia. The first such devices appeared in ancient China, then spread to Iran and Azerbaijan. The samovar made its way to Russia in the mid-18th century and quickly became popular among the wealthy. The Ural industrialists, the Demidovs, soon opened the first samovar factory. By the end of the 18th century, Tula became the center of production, and at the turn of the century, about 120,000 samovars were produced here annually.

The Burov family from Kolomna has collected a collection that reflects the entire history of samovar art and has supplemented it with other antique items that were an integral part of life in the 19th-20th centuries.
