"Spoils from the Wars of the Ottoman Empire between the 16th and 18th centuries, commonly known as the Turkish Wars, have found their way into secular and sacred treasuries and collections and libraries throughout all of Europe, with examples appearing in Vienna, Budapest, Krakow, Moscow, Dresden, Munich and Karlsruhe. The Karlsruhe Türkenbeute collection (Turkish spoils of war) stands out as a prominent example among these collections.
The trophy collection owes its thanks to the successful participation of Baden’s margraves in the Ottoman Empire Wars, and above all to Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden-Baden. His victories over the Ottomans in the decade after the Battle of Vienna in 1683 earned him the nickname Türkenlouis and made him very famous among his people.
Approximately 400 objects survive today. These objects, their stories and their historical background are documented in detail in the Virtual Museum (available only in german language)." -

"Das Naturkundemuseum Karlsruhe blickt zurück auf 222 Jahre Museumsgeschichte und feiert dies mit einer Sonderausstellung.
Seit 1785 sind die naturkundlichen Sammlungen der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Damals übernahm der erste Direktor die Leitung des von Markgräfin Caroline Luise von Baden (1723 - 1783) gegründeten Naturalienkabinetts und legte so den Grundstein für das heutige Museum.
Seither hat sich viel getan - aus der markgräflichen Sammlung von einst ist eine der größten naturwissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen dieser Art in Deutschland geworden, die nicht nur ein beliebtes Schaumuseum, sondern auch ein Forschungsinstitut von Weltrang in einem Haus vereint.
Anlässlich des Jubiläums präsentiert das Naturkundemuseum in den Dauerausstellungsräumen locker verteilt 222 ausgewählte Objekte aus den Sammlungen, die beispielhaft für die wechselvolle Geschichte des Museums stehen. " -

"The royal and middle classes' acquisition of art in the 16th century was motivated by a passion for collecting, an interest in science and the etiquette of the court. The contents of these chambers of curiosities mirrored the understanding of the world that was common during this time period. Museums in their present form grew out of these types of chambers when collections were divided during the 18th century."
