Could you please give the name of the city and the Museum? Looks like a good place to visit.

![]() ![]() In Krakow you can find one of the biggest arms exhibition with beautiful weapons from Medieval to II WW with quite huge 16th-18th c. department and many edged weapons in there (National Museum). You shouldn't miss Armoury in Czartoryski Museum and Wawel Royal Castle collection too. Other cities to see are Warszawa (Warsaw), Wroclaw and Gdansk (Danzig). In Warsaw you'll find the biggest army museum in Poland. Other cities are a must for sightseeng ![]() |

Damian, your museum shows some wonderful pieces, which should not be compared to any other museum, as it easily stands proud on its own (no offence meant, Michal
![]() We would love to see more, if possible, including Polish as well as eastern. |

Is there a historical basis as to why a museum in Poland shows such a heavy emphasis on Middle Eastern arms and armor? They are beautiful examples, but not surely not native to the region?

Dear Brian!
Of course I didn't want to exalt my museum over the Poznan Military Museum - no way. I was reffering to the other thread of Bill, and just wanted to add few more places to his list called "must see" ![]() In fact, this museum Damian is kindly presenting to us, is one of the most important in Poland. It doesn't have to be big to be important. There are also some great people, very active and scholarly well prepared to work with this fine pieces, thought I have to add that they are more active on other fields of military history like orders and badges, uniforms and flags. On the new pictures I would like to comment the Bechter we can see on third and fourth picture, made of plates and chainmails, with visible medalion in the middle. This piece is one of the finest examples of such armours in the world, through many years kept... o well, in my museum ![]() Hi Fenris. In fact eastern and mostly Turkish and Persian armaments were very popular in Poland in 17-18th centuries. Many weapons were made in Persian or Turkish fashion, noblemen paid big money to get them, etc. But on the other hand I think they're (in most) shown here without any link to Polish history, rather to show the entirety of the museum's collection. Regards PS. One thing I do not understand, why they've decided tu put a string on the bow which is now in wrong direction! ![]() |
