I spent a few days in Prague to see the Christmas market. I took the opportunity to visit the Imperial Armoury. It’s well worth a visit when in Prague. It was difficult to find. It’s next (not inside) to the Castle at a square ouside the Western gate. It’s situated in the attic of the Czech National Gallery (a.k.a. Schwarzenberg palace). You take the elevator to the top floor and ask an attendant for the Imperial Armoury and they will point to an unmarked door behind which is a staircase to the attic.

The exhibition is not very big but good. I did not spot any items from Wagner’s Cut and Thrust Weapons and did not see any swords with notches at the tips. The Military Museum was closed for refurbishment.
