Historical Artifacts

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

I saw this post and was really confused as to why I know these statues.

Graz is wonderful! I've studied there for years and the cultural display of just this place (which is the armoury in the city center 'landeszeughaus') is amazing. It also houses one of the best preserved traditional horse-armour sets.

For anyone who is interested in graz and/or history, once a year graz has a 'day of the museums' https://www.graz.net/internationaler-museumstag-29588/ where you can enter all ~18 museums in graz for a very cheap price for a day. Realistically you will never get through them all without sprinting though
