A new museum has opened in Tula, located in the apartment of the famous gunsmith Simon Sheinin on Metallists Street. Here, the designer lived for over fifty years. Just a few minutes' walk away are the TOZ workshops, where he developed under-barrel grenade launchers. His son, who still lives in the family home, created the museum in his father's room for the centenary of his birth. The centerpiece of this home museum is an old piano with yellowed keys. It is open, as if the owner is about to enter and play with the precision characteristic of a gunsmith. Music helped Simon Sheinin distract himself from serious thoughts related to the development of sporting, hunting, and shooting weapons, as well as rifle ammunition. It was in this room that he spent nights working on blueprints and notes, and in the morning he would head to the factory, where he was accepted right after school in 1941. The gunsmith's son opened the exhibition in the apartment where the Sheinin family lived for a hundred years. He was born here in 1924, and the descendants of the designer still live here today.

In this house, the childhood of Simon Matveyevich's son, Mikhail, took place. He recalls how his mother sewed clothes for the whole family on an old sewing machine and how they would get out the festive dishes for special occasions when guests came.

Unlike most museums, there are no guides here. Everything will be told and shown by the son of the Tula gunsmith, who is ready to welcome visitors every day except Monday.
