When I went, photographing permitted, without flash of course. (Αnd the museum staff was always with us, if you went there you can understand what I mean.)

And Mercenary, no photo, only zoom.

Post #6, the lowest panel: their famous yataghan resembling the Suleiman's examples.
I have seen it being mentioned in passing as Persian. But I doubt...

Hi Sylektis,

I was there in 2013 and only took a few snapshots, under the impression that pictures where not allowed.
Next time I will surely make some more pictures :-)

Also the pace of the guided tour was sometimes too fast for me.
I could have wandered there for hours ;-)

Once more, thanks for sharing.

It seems that their policy has changed.
Also to Ufizzi you can now take pictures. It was a pleasant surprise for me, because all the guidebooks saying otherwise.

The new Italian tourism minister changed the long standing rule last year, and most museums allow picture taking now, with exception of some private exhibitions.

Here it is, made by a Persian perhaps but not a "Persian" yatagan/yataghan.
