The few oriental arms in this collection. Among them the sword and pistol of Marco Botzaris, the Greek-Souliote hero of Greek revolution (1821).
Τhe lighting was desperately low.

Thanks Kurt
The room with the Asian stuff is extremely dark to take good photos.
Below are the two best that I could edit.
You can also see more European weapons in this thread:

thanks for sharing .
My last visit to the museum was 20 years ago.
A good reason to visit it again.

I've been in there… The lighting is all HORRIBLE. It's like a "nocturnal animal" exhibit at the zoo. You can barely see anything. I don't know if they're saving money or preventing people from taking photographs.
