Arsenal in Krakow, Military museum in Old Town, Poland
The Arsenal building in Krakow features neo-Gothic architecture with brick walls and stands next to one of four remaining defensive towers in the city.
Built in the mid-15th century as part of Krakow's defensive walls, the Arsenal stored military equipment, munitions, cannons, and gunpowder for the city's protection.
The Arms and Armour exhibition displays 700 military artifacts from the Middle Ages through the 19th century, representing Polish, European, and Oriental military traditions.
The Arsenal contains two separate exhibitions requiring different tickets: the Ancient Art Gallery accessed through the Czartoryski Museum and the Arms and Armour collection beneath the Carpenter's Tower.
The weapons collection demonstrates how military equipment reflected social status through decorative arts, connecting material culture with traditional craftsmanship.
