Recently I visited this museum and I believe that is one of the best of its kind.
Enjoy some of the exhibits that relevance at this forum. |

Excellent photos, thanks for posting.
Are they from The Benaki Museum in Athens? |

Right! I thought that it was more difficult to find.
The price is ... more photos. |

For all of my collecting "career" I have concentrated on plain, practical, everyday weapons. When I see a collection like this I wonder if I made a mistake !! Absolutely beautiful.
