Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. A brand new hardback copy of this splendid large format colourful guide to The Old Arsenal at Solothurn in Switzerland. Written in German, French and English, this glossy 186pp well illustrated book is superb. 160 b/w & 29 colour illustrations. The Old Armory Museum houses weapons and army material as well as a unique collection of armour. The old armory was used as a museum as early as the 18th century. Visitors marvelled at the armour and loot on the second floor. In 1845 a group of figures was erected showing the Stans Diet. It is one of the oldest surviving museum presentations in Switzerland. In 1907 the arsenal was closed and the building was completely converted into a museum. From 2014 to 2016, the more than 400-year-old building was extensively renovated and the permanent exhibition renewed. The Stanser Diet, the armour and booty can also be viewed again in the new permanent exhibition. We pack our books properly and ship daily from the UK. Seller Inventory # ABE-1677228238133
