The Turkish Age

Room 6

After the Mohács battle the country fell to three parts. The exhibition hall presents the historical objects of the territory that got under Ottoman rule. The exhibition recalls the fights for border fortresses, presents the Ottoman armaments and the typical characteristics of Ottoman art. Here can be seen the pew ornamented by inlaid work, made on behalf of the Báthory family.

Curiosities:

The Turkish leather cloak kept in the Hungarian national Museum is an exceptional rarity even by world standards, since the collection containing similar pieces in Topkapi Serai (Topkapi Palace, Istambul, Turkey) was destroyed in a fire. Only two other pieces of the same kind exist, one in the Historical Museum in Brasow, and another in the Castle of Cobourg.
