Thank you Jim, you're always very generous.

I forgot to mention what you can see in the exhibition.
Well, amongst 2000 objects the majority is from the 17th-19th century, with smaller part on medieval times (very small, because we have archaeological museum in Krakow which is better in it), small 16th century but with few unique objects, and quite small on the 20th century.

The National Museum hold one of the best in Poland collection of hussars armament, Polish edged weapons and European firearms. It is also "a temple" for all those interested in 18-19th c. uniforms and 19th-20th c. military decorations.

In some time (I hope quite soon) on my site PolishArms.com you will find the whole guide (written by Irena Grabowska many years ago, 80 pages) for the exhibition, which was sold out and won't be printed anymore (hopefully there will be a new one). It can be still a decent source of information about antique weapons in Poland.

Regards!
