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 |
