00:02 In 2020, at 32 Łazienna Street in Toruń, in the basement, during the renovation work, a weapon warehouse was found.
00:10 Well, maybe "warehouse" is too big a word, but there were six pieces of weapons in the hiding place,
00:16 including ammunition and some additional equipment.
00:19 It turned out that this weapon belonged to the Toruń resistance movement, which had its headquarters in the building next door.
00:27 The arsenal consists of several guns, two revolvers, and, interestingly, it is a well-preserved equipment.
00:39 After the end of the conservation work, which was already done here in the Museum of the District in Toruń,
00:44 it turned out that this equipment is really very well preserved.
00:48 And now, where did it come from in our museum?
00:51 After the arsenal was found, the police were called, specialists were called to secure this equipment.
00:59 For several weeks it was abandoned or not used for various types of crimes.
01:04 And then it was already in the collections of our Museum of the District in Toruń
01:08 and eventually went to the department dedicated to Toruń fortifications, to the Museum of the Toruń Fortress.
01:13 Hence, a few days ago we opened a temporary exhibition showing this whole arsenal, ammunition, weapons and all this additional equipment.
01:22 And in a few weeks it will be on display permanently, dedicated to the interwar period of Toruń.
