The Old Armory was built between 1609 and 1614. The imposing building served as a repository for the personal military equipment of the citizens of Solothurn. At the same time it was an armory and armament store for the mercenary trade. As early as the 18th century, the Old Armory was also used as a museum. Visitors marveled at the armor and spoils on the second floor. In 1845, a group of figures depicting the Tagsatzung at Stans was installed. It is one of the oldest museum displays in Switzerland still in existence today. In 1907, the armory ceased to operate and the house was completely converted into a museum. From 2014 to 2016, the over 400-year-old building was rebuilt, extensively renovated and the permanent exhibition renewed. In addition to the permanent exhibition, changing special exhibitions take a look at interesting topics.
