Default Recommendations Museum in Paris

Hello,

I am going to travel to Paris next week. Can anyone recommend a museum with a nice edged weapon collection there?

Thanks and best regards
Andreas

The best is the Muse'e de l' Arme'e - huge collection of arms and armour from medieval and renaissance times. The national museum of the Middle Ages at the Hotel de Cluny also has a small collection of arms & armour, and the museum of the Renaissance at Ecouen (a short train ride outside Paris) also has a small collection. Bonne chance.

For Japanese arms and armor:
Le musée national des arts asiatiques - Guimet, 6 place d'Iéna (subway station Iéna)
For ethnigraphic collections:
Musée des arts et civilisations d'Afrique, d'Asie, d'Océanie et des Amériques
37 Quai Branly
near the previous one, across the River Seine.

Beau temps
