Apologies Part 2 has been a long time coming and I hope I can recall enough of the detail
Not only were there superb wall paintings depicting battles in the Napoleonic era but there was as I’d hoped a lot of 18th century paintings and exhibits including this depiction of an encounter with what I presume are Turks or Ottomans
The museum webpage itself has a virtual tour http://www.panaustria.com/vt/110106/index.html here
These murals are a lovely introduction to the 18th Century room.There were so many superb exhibits its very difficult to know what to show here
The following 2 pictures are linked with the first illustrating what is on display in the second
The metal work on these caps is extraordinary
In the third and final part I’ll put together a few photographs of what drew my eye in the Thirty Years war exhibit and some of the more modern rooms
VALLEYBOY'S WARGAMES 
Great photos, Kerry. I do like those paintings.
Excellent post, thank you …
Thanks guys, the other photos are loaded onto photobucket so I’ll try and sort them soon but I’ve just had a little too much of the red stuff tonight
More wonderful pictures Valleyboyo. Thanks for posting them for our visual pleasure.
I’m looking forward to the dive a bit further back in history to the Thirty Years War.
Salute

Finally sorted Peter – yes I know its been a while!
