The magnificent rifles and pistols from the 16th to 19th centuries were used for hunting, target shooting and courtly representation. A richly-illustrated selection of objects presents a journey through three centuries of European gunsmithing and decorative art – the exhibits are elucidated in their complex cultural and historical contexts. The new museum guide presents the history of the collection as well as the architecture and furnishings of the Lange Gang. With its ancestral gallery, the approximately 100-metre-long Renaissance building embodied the dynastic memorabilia of the ruling family and housed the elector's \"personal rifle\" from 1733. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9783422803138.
