Museums in Venice, Istanbul?

DaveA · Yesterday, 01:18 AM

Hello all,

I will have an opportunity to visit some interesting locations. On the Adriatic Sea next March 2027. In particular, I have a couple of days in Venice and a couple in Istanbul. I’m trying to identify interesting museums or other venues with a good concentration of arms & armor on display, particularly edged weapons. I already have the Askari Military museum and Topkopi Palace in Istanbul on my list. Any suggestions?

The Doge's palace in Venice also has a nice armory, including some trophies from the wars with the Ottomans.

In Venice you should visit the Museo d'Arte Orientale!
