If you are interested in Indonesian weapons (Nias, Batak, Enggano, Mentawai) the MUSEO DI STORIA NATURALE Antropologia e Etnologia in Florence is a must.

I am back from Italy.

Here an impression from the : MUSEO DI STORIA NATURALE Antropologia e Etnologia in Florence

I like the old fashioned way of display with full display cases.
Some more information on the items displayed would have been nice.

Hello Horsa,

Have a nice trip.

Another interesting museum mentioned here above is Museo Stibbert.
At this moment the Stibbert museum has a separate exhibition with japanese armour in a modern and well lighted exhibition room.
It can be viewed after the guided tour throught the museum.

Best regards,
Willem
