The Frankfurt History Museum can hardly compare to the German National Museum, but it has an interesting section called the "Collectors" Museum", which displays collections of local collectors. Luckily, this includes some nice arms and armor.

Among the late medieval and Rennaissance arms and armor there are also some blue and gilt swords by a local Frankfurt bladesmith family.

Instead of labels next to the items, the museum has chosen to put a couple of books with descriptions and a brief history of how the collection came together.

The firearms collection interestingly enough belonged to Frida Kahlo's great uncle.
