Antique weapons

Here, we can see the development of weaponry from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. The collection includes examples of handguns and long guns, bladed weapons – including sabres, broadswords and rapiers – as well as polearms and items of protective armour. Among the most valuable exhibits are a Hungarian-Polish sabre from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, an 18th-century test pistol and a two-handed hispadon-type sword.

The exhibition is enriched by objects from outside Europe, including a Japanese samurai helmet and an Indian sipar shield. The display is complemented by multimedia elements, such as a hologram of a patriotic medal from 1861 and a presentation dedicated to the battles in the Lubusz Land, as well as selected works of art inspired by war themes.
