Room 6
Following the Battle of Mohács in 1526, Hungary split into three parts. This room presents artefacts, among them numerous treasure troves, from that part which came under Ottoman rule. We evoke the battles along the borders, but also show characteristics of Ottoman weapons and of Ottoman art. In addition, we display here inlay-decorated stalls that were commissioned by the Báthori family for a church at Nyírbátor.
Interesting facts:
The Ottoman leather coat held by the Hungarian National Museum counts as a rarity even in world terms, as that part of the collection at the Topkapi Seray Museum which held similar pieces suffered destruction in a fire. Apart from this particular leather coat, a further two can be seen, one at the History Museum in Brasov, Romania, and the other at Coburg Castle, Germany.
