Museum of Arms - Michael´s Tower

Museums & Art Centres
The Museum of Arms, part of the Bratislava City Museum, is located in the original part of the Mediaeval municipal fortification in Michael’s Tower, dating back to the 13th century. The museum is dedicated to the history of the town fortifications.

The collection includes various types of bladed weapons, military as well as tournament arms, whereas a separate section is devoted to the development of firearms. It also documents artisanal activities serving the defence of the town and familiarises visitors with the history of the producers of cannons and gunsmiths in Bratislava. 

The exhibition also comprises the activity of members of the Association of Bratislava Sport Shooters.

The final part of the exhibition is dedicated to the Czech and Slovak resistance movements abroad in 1914-1918 and especially the activities of the legions operating in France, Italy, USA and Russia.

The top floor gives onto the gallery of the tower with a view over the historical centre of Bratislava and its surroundings.
