Romanov-Borisoglebsk changed its name to Tutaev only in 1918, in honor of a Red Army soldier killed during the Yaroslavl Uprising. The Volga divides the town into two unequal parts, with the right bank much larger. But that doesn't mean there's nothing to see on the left. Let's stroll past the main sights of the left bank.

Everything You Wanted to Know About Bells, and Even More!

At the museum you'll hear about the ancient Russian craft of bell casting. You'll also learn how bells were made in the East, in Western Europe, and in Byzantium.

Rescued Bells

All the exhibits belong to the private collection of Nikolai Shuvalov, director of the Italmas factory. They were due to be melted down, but their historical and cultural value gave them a second life in the museum. Today they also serve as teaching aids for training bell-casting masters.
