All over Russia you can occasionally find curious museums dedicated to just one specific item. In 2002 a local antique dealer and entrepreneur came up with the idea to open in Pereslavl-Zalessky a museum entirely devoted to irons. The museum's displays various types of irons which were either purchased at markets or even retrieved from dumps. Perhaps surprising to some, the museum became a highlight of Pereslavl-Zalessky and soon even started to make a profit for its owner, who went on to also establish in the city the Teapot Museum.
