The procession of hussars leads to the scale armour, which, according to tradition, belonged to Stanisław Jabłonowski, one of the most outstanding hetmans of the reign of John III Sobieski. At the same time, it is surrounded by oriental objects commemorating the famous Battle of Vienna in 1683, which put an end to the Turkish threat in Europe. Stanisław Jabłonowski was one of the main commanders of the Polish Hussars’ attack.
