Zamość Arsenal Museum
Muzeum Fortyfikacji i Broni Arsenał
A 16th-century fortress arsenal converted into a museum of weapons and fortifications, with cannons, armour and a film on the history of the Ideal City.
The arsenal was built in 1582–1588 as a fortress store for cannons and ammunition, right beside Zamoyski Palace. Restored in 2010, it opened as the Fortress and Weapons Museum, a branch of the Zamość Museum. The main building displays edged weapons, firearms, armour and fortress models from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Artillery pieces are displayed in the courtyard, and another exhibition hall (the powder magazine) shows a multimedia film on the founding of Zamość and its sieges. A visit takes about an hour and can be combined with the palace and the bastion.
