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?

"Islamic Art" museum in Athens, a subdivision of the Benaki museum.

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.

No, sorry, only some other views and zooms that I'm posting now.
But I prepare a new thread with the weapons of "central" Benaki Museum.
