The 13th Century Château de Morges houses three museums, the Military Museum of Western Switzerland (Musée Militaire Vaudois), the Artillery Museum and the Museum of Historic Pewter Figures. The Musée Militaire Vaudois is home to the Vaudois arsenal containing a historical weapons collection and 10,000 lead soldiers. This military museum showcases the armaments in use over the centuries by the Swiss army. A detachment of Swiss guards is always on duty in the Vatican as the Pope’s personal bodyguard. The museum gives details of the dress and weapons held by this guard.
