From a sabre and a two-handed sword to protective equipment from beyond Europe.
Lingua dei contenuti
A Hungarian-Polish sabre dating from around the turn of the seventeenth century is among the most valuable objects in the historic arms collection. Other pieces include a two-handed hispadon sword and an eighteenth-century powder-testing pistol. This range of objects reflects a collection spanning the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century.
The gallery brings together handguns and long firearms, edged weapons and polearms. The edged weapons include sabres, broadswords and smallswords. Protective equipment forms another group. A Japanese samurai helmet and an Indian sipar shield extend the story beyond Europe, presenting different traditions of bodily protection.
Multimedia and selected works of art on military subjects accompany the historic objects. A presentation about battles in the Lubusz region connects weaponry with regional history. The collection brings together objects of different origins, ages and purposes: weapons, protection for the body and artistic depictions of war. Their surviving forms and historical uses remain the central theme.
