The Tyrolese Archduke Ferdinand of Hapsburg gathered together an omnivorous collection of art and wonders that provoked the awed admiration of his contemporaries at his castle in Ambras near Innsbruck. His main interest was the armory, where he collected the armors worn in battle by the most famous knights of the era. You can find here a large selection from that Collection.
