Representative selection from the "Weaponry & uniforms" collection of the Swiss National Museum

Weaponry: This is one of the largest and most important collections of weapons in Switzerland, with specimens dating from the High Middle Ages to the mid-20th century. The collection comprises mainly weapons of war (collection of the Zurich Armoury), but also includes non-military arms such as those used for display, hunting and sporting purposes. Uniforms: The collection comprises uniforms, headgear, equipment and insignia/decorations. Our uniform collection is a reference collection for cantonal and Swiss federal uniforms and equipment from the 18th to the 20th century.
