A new exhibition, Weapons Maketh the Man - Decorative Weapons as Male Adornment will be opened in the ERETZ ISRAEL (The land of Israel) Museum in Tel-Aviv Israel, on April 18 and will last until December 31 2007. The exhibition is based on three big private collection in Israel and focuses on the jewelry aspects of weapons (In Hebrew the name will mean "Jewelry of Man").
After the opening I will post several photos from the exhibition. Whoever visits Israel in this period of time is most welcome to visit. |
