Hi Aqtai,
It is like with the Moser Collection in Bern, Switzerland, the Ethnographical collection in Copenhagen, and so many other collections around (there was a thread on this subject here about two years ago) – they are being taking down, and no one knows if they will ever be shown again – so much for the museum people, saying that the weapons should be in the museums, rather than in private collections – be course in the museums the weapons will be shown and studied – I wonder what they think the weapons are in private collections, if not studied and shown to fellow collectors!
I find their attitude very arrogant, as they don’t offer any explanation as to when the weapons will be exhibited again, or if they ever will, nor do they offer any suggestions of, how interested people (collectors) possible will be able to see the collections. To me it seems, as if they don’t care, but I would very much like to be proven wrong. I do know that there are museums where one can make an arrangement, but I am not sure how many of the museums that count for, and if you get an appointment – you better be on time.
