The best museum I visited in Germany was the German National Museum in Nuremberg. It has a fantastic arms and armor collection. One of the first things one sees is a rare great helmet. I also liked the malchus with the carved wooden hilt.

The collection is predominantly from the late middle ages to the 17th century.

As one can expect, there are quite a few high-quality items from the Thirty Year War period.

The German National Museum also holds arms and armor from antiquity. For me at least, so many nice bronze swords, daggers and helmets all at the same place was quite a sight.

The Roman period is represented by some daggers, spathas and helmets, including a unique parade helmet.
