The Suhl Weapons Museum is a municipal institution with a European reputation, paying due attention to the international reputation of Suhl weapons production in the past and present.

The permanent exhibition focuses on the history of handgun production in Suhl. For the first time, the almost 600-year history of handgun production in Suhl is presented with original exhibits from all eras. By dividing the exhibition into 6 core areas - "Stately weapons", "Home of the gunsmiths", "Military weapons", "World of weapons", "Hunting weapons" and "Sporting weapons" - it is possible to provide a comprehensive insight.

The achievements of the Suhl engravers and medallists are embedded in the permanent exhibition. Insights are given into the Suhl Shooting Sports Center, the Suhl Procurement Office and the Suhl Vocational School for Gunsmiths and Engravers. In a small armory, Suhl's ceremonial and luxury weapons are on display, which went to the ruling houses of Europe. These exquisite handguns are handcrafted products and are among the top achievements in the history of European gunsmithing.
