Thanks for sharing! Only a pity so many swords are hiding their blades inside the scabbards.

And the last ones.

There are some breath taking swords there but the Bukhara Sabre, although not the most divine sword there, would suffice for me :-)

Thank you for taking the time to share.

Thank you so much for posting these pictures! Absolutely gorgeous and fascinating.

Now I must begin saving my $$ for trip to Florence!

Best,

ITS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE PICTURES OF MUSEUM EXHIBITS AND THESE ARE EXCEPTIONAL.

I MISSED THIS MUSEUM WHEN I WAS IN FLORENCE YEARS AGO BUT WILL BE SURE TO VISIT IF I PASS THRU THERE AGAIN. THANKS FOR THE PICTURES.

I was fortunately able to visit this wonderful collection. Here are a few more pictures. I took many more but the lighting is poor and no flash is allowed so not a lot are of any use. These are the best ones that give you an idea of the place. If you plan to visit I recommend a taxi from the train station as it is not easy to find and if you are not good at walking, for what ever reason, does involve a rather long steep climb up hill.
