Graz has the worlds' largest historic armoury (Landeszeughaus) right near the centre of the city. It holds a wide range of arms and armour dating back to the days when Styria was on the frontlines of ongoing conflicts between the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires.

It feels more like a warehouse than a museum, stocked to the rafters with everything from helmets to firearms. Although some items like richly decorated pistols were owned by the nobility, most represent what the common enlisted soldier could be equipped with.
