The history of the museum began when a resident of Ryazan, Igor Evsyukhin, studying the book "Committee of Sugar Makers" published in 1845, discovered a leaf with a candy recipe dated 1837. Evsyukhin, who had long been fascinated by confectionery, decided to recreate this sweet in his workshop using the old Russian recipe, and he successfully accomplished this task.

But what is the story behind this recipe and what was significant about the year 1837 for Ryazan? It turns out that in this year, an exhibition of the province's achievements was held in Ryazan, timed to the visit of the heir to the throne, Alexander, the future Emperor Alexander II. This inspired the creation of the museum. Evsyukhin shared his idea and received support from the city authorities, who helped find a suitable location. Sobornaya Street, where the museum is now located, was perfect for this. Since the early 19th century, it had been built up with houses of Ryazan merchants, where shops were located on the first floor and living quarters for merchants and their families on the second. After thorough work to restore historical facts and create interesting exhibits, the private candy museum opened its doors. On Tuesday, September 12, 2018, the ribbon was cut by Igor Evsyukhin, Mayor Oleg Bulyekov, and Minister of Culture Vitaly Popov. The museum invites guests to share with them the story of "one candy," immersing them in an exciting journey through the past and present of sugar production.
