Thank you Fernando! I figured if any group of people would know, it would be the readers of this forum. I have been lurking for a while here and reading a lot and it is amazing the depth of knowledge of the membership here.

Best,

Hi Lisa,

Do visit die Veste in Coburg,
it has on of the most beautiful collections of art, architecture , glass, paintings, arms and armor and all in its original environment.
The quality of the arms and armor collection is amazing, don't forget the cellar with the tournament sledges for woman, the cellar has a certain atmosphere to it, furthermore I can't express enough how clean the place is and how friendly the staff.

Thank you Ulfberth! I had wondered if their collection merited a visit, and I will definitely add it to my list. Do you know by any chance, whether they allow photography?

Best,

Lisa

If i remember correctly there is a firearms museum in Ingolstadt as well.

There is also the Bavarian Army museum in Ingolstadt, with loads of arms and armour of all periods - that may be the one Marcus refers to, and they allow photos. It's a bit further away but the castle at Passau has a good A&A collection too. You will have a busy visit.

Hi,

there is also a museum in Kulmbach at the Plassenburg with the biggest military show (so they say) within the time from 1700 until 1806:

I was in it and it was worth it. Photos were not allowed when I remember correctly.

And the Veste Coburg isn´t far, which is also outstanding.

Hello All!

I would like to thank everyone who made suggestions as to museums with arms collections to visit in Bavaria. During my recent vacation I made it to the collections at Kaiserberg, Veste Coburg, Rothenburg, and took in a 16th/17th century clothing exhibition in Nuremburg. I would not have known about these excellent museums were it not for the members of this list!

Thank you all very much!

Lisa
