Hello,
I will be visiting Munich and Nuremberg in mid-January 2016 and hoped that members of this forum might have some suggestions as to museums in the area which might have collections of 16th or 17th century firearms and accouterments, as well as bladed weapons and armor of the same period. I have a visit to the Germanisches Nationalmuseum planned but wondered where else I might visit during my week in the area which might have good collections on display. If this is not an appropriate question for this forum I apologize and would ask the moderators to remove my post. Thank you, Lisa P. |

Hi Lisa,
Do visit die Veste in Coburg, it has on of the most beautiful collections of art, architecture , glass, paintings, arms and armor and all in its original environment. The quality of the arms and armor collection is amazing, don't forget the cellar with the tournament sledges for woman, the cellar has a certain atmosphere to it, furthermore I can't express enough how clean the place is and how friendly the staff. http://www.kunstsammlungen-coburg.de...ume-waffen.php Kind regards Ulfberth |

Lisa, welcome to our forum!!!!! While I cannot personally recommend as I have not been to these places, if you use our search functions you will see many threads in which our late friend Matchlock (Michael) posted incredible images from many museums. Please do ask any questions which come up as we all learn together here as these things are discussed. Sounds like you had a wonderful trip and we would love to hear more on your experiences. Very best regards Jim |
