Poland - travel tip needed

Stig_Losnegaard · Post by **Stig_Losnegaard** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 11:36 am

I get to go to Poland (Warsaw and Krakow to be excact) for a few days.

Does anybody know of exhibits containing archery equipment
in those two cities?

I.e. are these (http://www.atarn.org/islamic/patterns/p ... quiver.pdf)
or others on display at the Czartoryskich Museum in Krakow?
(Actually I guess I will need to find time for that museum anyway).

Grateful for any tips.

I can not rememeber, if you will find this quiver there, but there are other ones with bows, arrows etc. It is also worth going to Wawel and to the National Museum. Most bows there are Crim-Tatar type. If Andrzej sees this thread, he may tell you more.

In Warsaw you have the Army Museum with more bows from all over the world. I think they have Manchu bows in the Ethnographic Museum as well.

Hi
In Krakow you can find bows in three places:
- Czartoryski Museum (ul. Sw Jana <Saint John Street> near the Main Market Square, close to medieval walls
- Military exhibition in National Museum (ul. 3-go Maja <3-th May Street> opposite to the Cracovia Hotel
- Ottoman exhibition in Wawel Castel Museum (only one or two bows)

In Warsaw - Military Museum mentioned by Adam

Most bows are Crimean Tatar bows.

If you would any help, write me private message.

Andrzej

Thank you very much and thanks for the offer.

I hope I will be able to visit all those places.
There will be so much else to see in Warsaw and Krakow
I'm certain of .

I'll do my best.
