Among the exhibits on display are the protective armaments of the Polish heavy cavalry and a unique five-metre-long hussar lance. By design, these were disposable, single-use weapons, and only a few have survived to this day in the museum collections. In the collection of cold weapons on display are 18th- and 19th-century Polish sabres, both those for combat and the so-called ‘costume’ ceremonial sabres used as part of the traditional attire of the nobility. A separate collection is made up of oriental weapons (Persian and Turkish) from the 17th and 18th centuries, but also those from the Balkan countries, the Caucasus, and the Maghreb area. The exhibition also includes equestrian equipment noteworthy for its variety of materials and rich decoration, as well as two complete Eastern-type ceremonial horse trappings. The trapping decorated with several hundred rubies is particularly valuable; it was made in the second half of ^the 17th century in Armenian workshops operating in Lviv, famous for their luxurious artistic craft products. Completing the exhibition are the walls of a tent from the first half of the 18th century, modelled after Turkish designs, most likely by workshops operating in Brody, near Lviv.
